Each has changed the world in small and large ways. This list could have been much longer! We chose people who were unique in their accomplishments, who demonstrated personal qualities that would resonate, and who could generate high interest in students. We want students to know that they can dream big. Someone just like them, at one time, did, and changed the world. The short biographical sketches below are offered as a brief introduction to each of the courageous kids included in this set. They highlight some achievements and qualities that set these young people apart. There is, of course, much more to each story. We leave the rest of the story for students to research and enjoy. Psst! All of the information was correct at the time of printing. However, life goes on and things may change. Carson Dellosa will make every effort to make updates and corrections available in a timely manner. © Carson Dellosa • CD-110516 1 Artists & Performers Aelita Andre is an Australian painter Christian Li is an Australian-Chinese who may be the youngest professional violinist who first picked up a violin at age artist ever.
