Fauja Singh Keeps Going tells the inspiring true story of Fauja Singh, who overcame physical challenges and expectations from childhood to become one of the world’s most remarkable long-distance runners. Growing up in rural Punjab, Fauja persevered through hardship, worked tirelessly on his family’s farm, and, at the age of 81, ran his first marathon. He went on to break world records and became the first person over 100 years old to complete a marathon, proving that determination and resilience know no age. As children follow Fauja’s extraordinary journey, they naturally strengthen reading comprehension, vocabulary, and historical and cultural understanding while developing perseverance, resilience, empathy, and the confidence to pursue their goals despite obstacles.
