Changing the world – a dream shared by so many people. The best way to understand how we can make the world a little brighter and a little warmer, both on a large scale and in small ways, is through those who not only dreamed of it but actually put it into action. This book brings together 30 short portraits of individuals who have been and continue to be role models in their time and today. The range includes courageous women of faith like Teresa of Ávila, peacekeepers like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, and extends to contemporary figures like Malala and Greta Thunberg. The book is illustrated by the Syrian artist Nour Altouba, who creates portraits of the selected personalities in his unique style.
