Manny has a big dream-he wants to become the first person in his family to attend college.
Curious about their experiences, Manny asks his family members, neighbors, teachers, and coaches if they went to college. Each person shares a different story about the challenges, choices, and circumstances that shaped their life.
Instead of allowing those stories to discourage him, Manny becomes even more determined to reach his goal. With hard work, good grades, encouragement, and a positive mindset, he learns that big dreams can start anywhere.
Manny Goes to College is an inspiring children's story that teaches young readers about:
- The importance of education
- Setting goals and working toward them
- Believing in yourself
- Overcoming difficult circumstances
- Becoming the first in your family to achieve something new
Perfect for children ages 5-10, classrooms, school libraries, and families, this uplifting book reminds every child that where they come from does not determine how far they can go.
