Through sharing children?s own perspectives on the world and documenting their reflections and responses to the research, Young Lives is working to ensure that children?s voices are heard.

In 2008, Young Lives produced a book ?Nothing is impossible for me? ? which captures stories of twenty of the Young Lives children together with survey data from each country to bring the Young Lives data to life and set out the broader context of children living in poverty.

The book generated a range of responses both at the country and international level and is considered to be one of the study?s most successful communications tools to date. By thinking laterally in order to make the best of the information available in the research transcripts, and presenting these stories together with country survey data, Young Lives has brought its work to life.
