On 15 October 1931, Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam, popularly known as A.P.J Abdul Kalam, was born in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu. He went on to become one of the most revered personalities of Independent India. A scientist, leader, thinker, teacher, and writer who achieved great success in various fields, Dr Kalam realized his dreams against all the odds.

This one-of-a-kind book, with gorgeous illustrations, is a collectible edition that celebrates an extraordinary man who serves as a role model for all.
