Henry Fraser was a 17-year old sports scholar when his spinal cord was crushed and he was left paralysed from the shoulders down. Life as he knew it was over and yet, through extraordinary determination and a positive attitude, he has forged a successful career as an inspirational speaker and a mouth artist. Henry chose survival over defeat, and transformed unimaginable difficulty into an opportunity to grow and inspire others.
The Little Big Things combines Henry's wisdom and insight into accepting life's challenges with positivity and hope, and will resonate with anyone facing an obstacle, no matter how big or small. It includes Henry's thoughts on how to remain positive, how to acknowledge progress in whatever you do, and the power of accepting the darkness when it comes. Right at the heart of Henry's inspiring philosophy is his belief that every day is a good day.
