Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 226 pages. A boy born without arms or legs tells his own amazing story!Oto came h ome from school one day and told his parents he had signed up to play basketball . Most parents would be delighted; his were shocked. After all, Oto was born wit h no arms and no legs. But as this extraordinary young man has proven again and again, hard work, humor, versatility, and an upbeat approach to life are as valu able as limbs. No One's Perfect is his true account of how he slam-dunked one ch allenge after another, including basketball.In a style purposefully meant to reach all ages, Oto writes about his unique childhood in Japan, a country th at traditionally has shielded the disabled from the public eye.

From his earliest days, he brought such a winning optimism int o the crowds around him-curious kindergartners, skeptical members of the public school board, gaping passersby-that it was hard to resist him.Now, as a y oung adult, Oto has taken on the work of establishing a barrier-free environme nt for others, in the government, in the media, in the eyes of all he meets.

And though you need bravery and constant energy t o overcome disabilities, you also need the understanding of those around you. St rong parents and unconventional teachers bucked the rigid status quo to give Oto a chance at a normal life, and he took it from there. Running races, learning t o swim, even getting into fights, he made his classmates feel He's one of us. …
