About the book

After starting Free The Children when he was twelve years old, Craig Kielburger continued his adventure in Brazil. It was on the streets of Salvador, Brazil, that Craig learned the firsthand stories of street children. In this easy-to-read, full-colour illustrated children’s book, the reader learns about the joys of these very children.


A cut above your typical children’s book, this true story culminates in a soccer game using a plastic bottle as a ball. After the game ends, it is a young child named José that shows Craig the true meaning of selflessness by giving him his prized possession—literally the soccer jersey off his back. Perfect for young readers, this adventure reveals how the universal act of generosity defies borders. Learn more at www.metowe.com

Me to We

Me to We provides people with better choices for a better world, including socially conscious and environmentally friendly clothes and accessories, as well as life-changing international volunteer trips, leadership training programs and materials, an inspirational speakers’ bureau, and books that address issues of positive social change.

Me to We is designed to help support the work of our charitable partner Free The Children. Half of its annual profits on an annual basis are given to Free The Children with the other half reinvested to sustain the growth of the enterprise. Through Me to We, our dream is to bring Free The Children’s already low administrative rate down to zero, meaning 100% of all donations to Free The Children will go directly to projects.
