on Feb 02, 2022

England’s Footballer and a child food poverty campaigner Marcus Rashford penned down his first book “You Are a Champion”, published last May and turned out to be a bestseller. It was co-written by Carl Anka and was focused for children aged between 10 and 14. His debut book was the bestselling children’s non-fiction title of the year, selling over 220,000 copies in the UK, according to its Publisher.
It explored “how to celebrate and champion difference”.

His second book, which is a follow-up of his debut book, titled as “You Can Do It: How to Find Your Team and Make a Difference”, will be published in July, revealed by Macmillan Children’s Books. Rashford further talked about his book and said that he and Anka had put together ideas for You Can Do It by spending time with children who had read You Are a Champion. “Understanding what they took away from the book and what tools we could still equip them with, so they are best prepared for adult life”, said by Rashford.
Rashford further said, “The insight sessions were brilliant and I’m proud of the outcome, focusing on how we can best champion one another, and view difference as a positive rather than a means to discriminate. This is about how you can use your voice to support others and make a meaningful change for the better.”

It is described as an “inspirational guide” for children of age 10 to 14, it will encourage readers to use their voice to champion causes they care about and guide about the importance of teamwork, how even the smallest changes can have the greatest impact. Anka said he “leapt” at the chance to collaborate with Rashford again. “We want to build on some of the ideas and principles developed in the first book and hopefully create something to help young people foster their communities and go out and shape the world,” shared by Anka.
