Terry Fox’s story for young readers
This children’s biography introduces Terry Fox through the effort that defines the title: his attempt to run across Canada in 143 days. It also connects his story to his lasting presence in Canadian public life, asking why schools, roads, buildings, and parks bear his name. The book frames his determination and work in the context of his experience with cancer, giving young readers both a biographical subject and a starting point for considering the values associated with his legacy.
