Born in a South Africa divided by racism and hatred, little six-year-old
Peekay learns that small can beat big. Armed with this knowledge, he
resolves to take on the injustices of his country, and sets his heart on
becoming the welterweight champion of the world. Peekay starts to take
boxing lessons, makes new friends, collects cacti, and plays the piano.
Above all, he learns to think with his head and then with his heart.
Peekay discovers that nothing can defeat the determination to be true to
yourself: this is the power of one.
