Discover the life of Sir Chris Hoy, the cycling champion, six-time
Olympic gold medallist, and eleven-time World Champion, who became an
inspiration to millions. As a boy growing up in Scotland, Chris
loved nothing more than racing around on his BMX and dreaming of
becoming a champion. He wasn’t the fastest cyclist at first, but did
that stop him? No! He quickly learned the value of hard work and
perseverance, equipping him with the tools he needed to push forward.
With determination, courage, and relentless effort, he went on to
become one of the greatest cyclists of all time. But Chris's story
doesn’t end at the finish line. After retiring, he became an author,
writing books to inspire children and young athletes to chase their
dreams. In 2024, he showed remarkable courage once again, by openly
sharing his cancer diagnosis and offering hope through his strength.
To honour this, for every book sold, a donation will be paid to
Maggie's, a charity that helps families living with cancer. With
lively illustrations and fascinating facts, this book takes young
readers on an inspiring adventure through Chris's incredible
journey—showing that with passion, perseverance and a dream to
follow, anything is possible! Little People, BIG DREAMS is a
bestselling biography series for kids that explores the lives of
outstanding people, from designers and artists to scientists and
activists. All of them achieved incredible things, yet each began life
as a child with a dream.
