Reaching Above is an electrifying journey that blends the magic of technology with the power of storytelling to inspire young minds! This groundbreaking book features holograms of beloved celebrities, allowing readers to interact and ask questions as if they were face-to-face. Imagine the awe and wonder as young people unlock the wisdom and experiences of their favorite stars! 

The smart place to start is by sharing stories from local heroes and local history, giving young people a sense of pride and connection to their community. These tales bring home the message that greatness can be found all around us, and that every person has the potential to “reach above” and achieve incredible things. 

Let’s empower the next generation with tales of triumph and innovation, both global and local, that fuel their dreams and drive their ambition! With Reaching Above, the sky is the limit!
