In this book, Stuart Lawrence talks about what he has learned
from life – the tools that have helped him live positively
and kept him moving forwards when times have been tough.

"We all want to be successful in life and to be remembered
for our achievements – but how can we do that, when the
world can seem so big and sometimes scary?"– Stuart
Lawrence

"The publication of his first book for children, Silence
is Not an Option: You Can Impact the World for Change,
is intended to empower all children irrespective of skin colour
to demand a better society… Stephen Lawrence’s brightness
runs throughout the pages, along with Stuart’s love
for his brother" – Louise Carpenter,
The Times Magazine

From role models to self-control, failure to imagination,
Stuart’s aim with this book is to use his own
experience to help young people – to help all people
– harness the good in themselves and in the world
around them, using that fire of positivity to
create change in their lives.
