When we first saw Jil’o on social media, he was lying injured on a roadside in Brazil. Hit by a truck alongside his mother and brutally beaten, his tiny legs were broken — and our hearts broke too. It was one of the most tragic stories we had ever seen. Sometimes, you just know you have to act. We couldn’t do everything, but we knew we could do something. Together with kind-hearted heroes in Brazil, we fought to save Gilo’s life. This book tells his story — a story of pain and cruelty, but also of courage, compassion, and hope. It’s a tribute to those who refuse to look away, who choose kindness, and who believe that every life matters. In a world that desperately needs more kindness, Gilo reminds us that even the smallest among us can inspire great change.
