Little Lewis's childhood was filled with cars, motorcycles and watching Formula One with his dad. On his fifth birthday, he received a remote-controlled racing car and joined a local club. It was hard being the only black child there, but he listened to his dad's words: 'Let your results speak for you.' His hobby led him to go-kart racing, and at the age of 10 he became the youngest ever winner of the British cadet go-karting competition. Shortly after, he began training as a racing driving with McLaren, rising through the ranks to compete at Formula One's Grand Prix.
Despite his amazing successes, from breaking the record for the most triumphs in Formula One to his knighthood, Lewis has never forgotten where he came from. Today he is a campaigner for racial justice and racial diversity in sport, as well as an advocate for positive mental health as well as environmental issues.
This inspiring 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 incredible racing driver's life so far.

      Grades K-2 Although the subjects of these new biographies in the Little People, Big Dreams series (3 new titles) seem unrelated, each person is inspirational in their own right and has contributed to important causes. Lewis Hamilton introduces the British Formula One racecar driver who is not only "the first Black driver to top the Formula One rankings, but its youngest champion ever"; his commitment to working with children and providing Black youth opportunities to work in motorsports is also covered. The text of each book is appropriate for early elementary schoolers, but the colorful, full-page, cartoon illustrations are likely to appeal to younger children as well. Each book concludes with a brief, more adult-oriented biography of its subject featuring several photographs and additional details. Sources are not cited, but one additional title is provided for readers who want to "find out more." Attractive additions to a reliable series.
