“Kids always search for heroes, so we might as well have a
say in it,” Brad Meltzer realized, and so he envisioned this
friendly, fun approach to biography for his own kids, and
for yours. Each book tells the story of one of America’s
icons in an entertaining, conversational way that works well
for the youngest nonfiction readers, those who aren’t quite
ready for the Who Was series. Each book focuses on a
particular character trait that made that role model heroic.
For example, Abraham Lincoln always spoke up about fairness,
and thus he led the country to abolish slavery. This book
follows him from childhood to the presidency, including the
Civil War and his legendary Gettysburg Address.
