Description
An empowering and honest conversation-starter about discovering what truly matters and using your life to make a difference.
What is purpose? Is it something you do, or something you are?
In this inspiring book, Olympic medalist and global changemaker Karina LeBlanc shares how discovering your purpose isn't about finding one big thing you're meant to do, but about using who you areβyour heart, your voice, your storyβto make a difference in the world around you.
A Kids Book About Purpose is a book about asking questions, not having all the answers. It's about knowing that purpose doesn't look the same for everyone. And it's about helping kids realise that no matter their age, background, or talents, they can live a life filled with meaning and impact.
