“Don’t Tell Me I Can’t” is the autobiography of 14-year-old Kevin Cooper who went under the pseudonym of Coles Summers. This remarkable American teen started his first business at 7, which he grew into a 350-acre ranch. He had grand plans to solve environmental problems in the Great Basin Desert. With every hurdle he faced, he found a way and never accepted the limitation if an adult told him it was not possible.
Tragically, his life was cut short in a kayaking accident. His legacy continues to inspire others. NTD took a look at the incredible feats he had accomplished as a child and spoke to his father who had encouraged him every step of the way.
