Discover the inspirational story of Bob Marley, the man who moved the world with his music and inspired generations with his message of peace, love and hope.   Born to a Black mother and a white father, little Bob learned at a very young age that life could be difficult for reasons that don’t make sense. He was often bullied for the colour of his skin, but he never let unkindness harden his heart; instead, he dreamt of a world where everyone could belong.   At twelve years old he moved to the sunny Caribbean town of Kingston and promptly fell in love with Ska, a popular style of music indigenous to Jamaica, and spent years writing songs and taking guitar lessons to hone his skills. And then? Bob Marley and the Wailers were born!   From then on, Bob began to practise Rastafari beliefs, and through Reggae used their lyrics and melodies to fight for social justice and advocate for peace. Before long, his songs were spreading a message of unity across the world.  Bob Marley was, and is, a cultural icon, whose work and message remain as relevant as ever. His story demonstrates the power of music as a force for good and the joy to be found when we open our hearts to others.   This powerful book features quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the musician and activist's life.  Little People, BIG DREAMS is a bestselling biography series for children that explores the lives of outstanding individuals, from designers and artists to scientists and activists. Each of them achieves incredible things, yet they all began life as a child with a dream.
