The new book, which is entitled Lego Heroes: Lego Builders Changing Our World – One Brick at a Time, has been released by Chronicle Books.
Lego Heroes is a collection of twelve remarkable stories about everyday heroes using the Lego system in unique ways to solve some of life’s greatest challenges.
Readers can meet twelve visionary builders from around the globe who have turned Lego play into life-altering innovations through their immense curiosity, creativity, passion – and a handful of Legobricks. From a wheelchair for an injured turtle to customised prosthetic arms to lab research for coral reef preservation, each chapter showcases individuals of all ages and backgrounds who have applied the Lego System in Play to solve some of life’s greatest challenges in the fields of technology, sustainability, education and more.
With inspiring messages of imagination and problem-solving through play, the publishers say readers will be moved by this heart-warming celebration of people who are changing the world, one brick at a time.
