Silence is NEVER an option – stand up, speak out, be the difference.

“This book will change lives” – Marianne Levy, the i Paper

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
