This captivating book pays tribute to the remarkable lives of 99 inspirational immigrants who have made a significant impact on Britain. Spanning a diverse range of backgrounds and achievements, from Hans Holbein to Raheem Sterling, Freddie Mercury to Judith Kerr, and Joan Armatrading to Malala Yousafzai, these individuals have left an indelible mark on the nation.

Many of these immigrants arrived in Britain with little more than their determination and a thirst for a better life. Despite facing numerous challenges, including a lack of financial resources and a limited grasp of the English language, they achieved remarkable success through their hard work, ingenuity, and unwavering spirit. Their legacies continue to shape society, with their contributions ranging from the establishment of iconic brands like Marks & Spencer to the creation of the Paralympics.

Without the presence of these individuals, the United Kingdom would be vastly different and significantly poorer. Each entry in the book features an original illustration alongside a comprehensive profile of each individual, highlighting their incredible achievements and contributions. Additionally, readers are invited to add a 100th individual who has inspired them, whether it be a mother, father, friend, colleague, or neighbor.

This book serves as an ideal companion to other notable works such as Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls, 100 Great Black Britons, and Amazing Muslims Who Changed the World. It provides a valuable insight into the diverse tapestry of immigrants who have enriched and shaped British society, and serves as a testament to the power of perseverance, determination, and the pursuit of a better life.
