Joanne Grady Huskey

Caroline and Christopher, who are featured in this book, really did grow up all over the world. They are truly world citizens who love to learn about new cultures. This book shares the story of their childhood in the colorful African nation of Kenya. By sharing the magic of Kenyan land, culture, tribes, birds and animals, you hopefully will be inspired to learn more about far away places and cultures very different from your own. The world is so amazing. Go out and learn all you can. It will open your heart and your mind.

Capturing the tales of growing up as the eldest of five children in her large Irish Catholic family, the author shares humorous and joyful moments recollected in her colorful Grady clan. Her narrative recaptures those childhood days of freedom and fun, creativity and simplicity, that many may have lost in our increasingly hurried and hectic lives.

Our goal in writing this book was to share our "path to leadership" curriculum with young people worldwide-particularly young women-who have dreams they hope to achieve. We especially wanted to reach out to the many young people who didn't have the chance to attend an iLive2Lead Summit. Don't let your dreams die In these pages, we have laid out the steps toward actualizing a full-fledged project. We've shown how we developed our program and shared the lessons we learned along the way. Following the steps we've outlined, you have a road map to achieve your goals. Work to make them real, give them substance, plan how you will accomplish them, communicate and connect about your ideas, and continue to grow and learn throughout the process. We hope you will share this book with your friends and inspire them and all of us by your actions. Start today to do what makes you feel passionate and alive, because the world desperately needs many more people who are ready to make a difference.
