Sir Lewis Hamilton inspires kids on CBeebies ‘Bedtime Stories’

Formula 1 legend Sir Lewis Hamilton appeared on CBeebies Bedtime Story to read "Small’s Big Dream" by Manjeet Mann, a tale about a girl named Small who believes her dreams are too big. Hamilton shared, “I felt it was really inspiring, it reminded me of my childhood and the big dreams that I had as a kid." He emphasized, "No dream is too big or small and as long as you believe in yourself and continue to work hard, stay focused and give it absolutely everything, anything is possible."

Hamilton's reading aired on July 3 at 6.50 pm on CBeebies and BBC iPlayer. The CBeebies Bedtime Story series, a family favorite since 2002, features star-studded guests who read inspiring stories to encourage a passion for reading among children.

Hamilton’s appearance aimed to inspire young viewers to pursue their dreams, despite any discouragement they may face. Reflecting on the story, Hamilton noted, "I know that there are many kids out there that have big dreams too. Perhaps there will be people telling them that their dream’s too big. But this story really emphasizes that no dream is too big or small and as long as you believe in yourself and continue to work hard, stay focused and give it absolutely everything, anything is possible."
