The riveting story of how a young man turned $25 into more than 200 schools around the world and the guiding steps anyone can take to lead a successful and significant life. Adam Braun began working summers at hedge funds when he was just sixteen years old, sprinting down the path to a successful Wall Street career. But while traveling he met a young boy begging on the streets of India, who after being asked what he wanted most in the world, simply answered, “A pencil.” This small request led to a staggering series of events that took Braun backpacking through dozens of countries before eventually leaving one of the world’s most prestigious jobs to found Pencils of Promise, the organization he started with just $25 that has since built more than 200 schools around the world. The Promise of a Pencil chronicles Braun’s journey to find his calling, as each chapter explains one clear step that every person can take to turn your biggest ambitions into reality, even if you start with as little as $25. His story takes readers behind the scenes with business moguls and village chiefs, world-famous celebrities and hometown heroes. Driven by compelling stories and shareable insights, this is a vivid and inspiring book that will give you the tools to make your own life a story worth telling. *All proceeds from this book will support Pencils of Promise.

"2030 Not a Fairytale" is a beautiful picture book dedicated to introducing young children to the seventeen Global Goals for Sustainable Development. In September 2015 world leaders gathered at the United Nations in New York to adopt the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The Global Goals are universal and call for action to ensure economic development, social progress and environment sustainability worldwide. Economists, politicians, religious leaders, development professionals and celebrities hailed the seventeen Global Goals as a real opportunity to tackle the most urgent issues facing people and planet. The overarching promise of the Global Goals to "leave no one behind" means the global community must come together, united in the collective vision to transform our world. If the Global Goals are indeed going to impact every person on the planet, then the agenda needs to be understood by everyone. The official UN document is long and the wording is technical, so the aim of this book is to introduce the Global Goals to preschool children through a colourful picture book with simplistic explanations of each goal. An understanding of the Global Goals is the first step to using the Post-2015 Development Agenda as a platform to advocate for real change in our world. Introducing children to the Global Goals at a young age it allows them to later understand the commitments made under the agreement and the agenda their governments have ratified. Only then can they hold their political representatives accountable and demand action to realize the collective vision for a just and sustainable future for all.
