FASTER Than Any Boy Anywhere Anytime Any Age

FASTER Than Any Boy Anywhere, Anytime, Any Age by Sharon Esther Lampert

Sharon Esther Lampert was so skinny as a child that kids joked she looked like "just a head and legs." Her nickname? Daddy Long Legs - the long‑legged spider with a tiny body. But what no one expected was this:

"Sharon could run faster than all the boys. They lined up to race her - and she won. Every time."

This dazzling, empowering children's book transforms Sharon's real childhood into a mythic adventure of speed, courage, creativity, and unstoppable spirit. Each page shows Sharon outrunning something new - boys, fear, gravity, the status quo, even the Angel of Death - all drawn from the vivid metaphors in your manuscript:

"Sharon leaves behind every past version of herself... while she sprints gloriously forward into the magnificent, unwritten, unstoppable tomorrow."

From racing past processed food to sprinting beyond yesterday, Sharon becomes a symbol of resilience and imagination for every child who has ever felt different, teased, or underestimated.

Children will learn:

• • Confidence - You can outrun labels.
  • Courage - You can outrun fear.
  • Creativity - You can outrun the ordinary.
  • Possibility - You can outrun anything that tries to limit you.

And in the heartfelt Author's Note, Sharon shares the truth behind the legend:

"To this day, I still have a silver long‑legged spider pin... a reminder that what others tease you for can become the very thing that makes you strong."

FASTER is more than a book. It is a celebration of individuality, resilience, and the unstoppable genius inside every child.

Perfect for:

• • Ages 4-10
  • Classrooms
  • Gift books
  • Social‑emotional learning
  • Girls' empowerment
  • Readers who love autobiographical inspiration
