Marcus Rashford 

In this book from the highly acclaimed Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the incredible life of Marcus Rashford, the world-famous soccer player and campaigner against childhood hunger.



When Marcus was a kid, he had a
family that loved him and a
talent for soccer. 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.



This powerful book features 
stylish and quirky illustrations  and 
extra facts at the back , including a 
biographical timeline  with historical photos and a detailed profile of the soccer player’s life.
