Marcus Rashford (Little People Big Dreams) by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara & Guilherme Karsten

In the Little People Big Dreams series, discover the lives of outstanding people from designers and artists to scientists. Little Pablo grew up in an artistic household and after drawing his first painting at nine years old.  When Marcus was a kid, he had a family that loved him and a talent for football. His mum, Melanie, worked long hours to provide for her family, but sometimes she would go without food herself to make sure that her children had enough to eat. With his mum's support, Marcus pursued his dreams and progressed through the youth academy at Manchester United Football Club. He worked hard and trained for years to reach the top of the game, making his debut in the Premier League in 2016. But no matter how successful he became, he never forgot where he came from and his experience as a hungry child. When schools were closed during the Coronavirus pandemic of 2020, the situation left schoolchildren without free meals that they would have had. And so Marcus took it upon himself to lead a nation-wide campaign to ensure that no child would go without food.
