We can all be heroes. That’s the inspiring message of
this lively, collectible picture book biography series from
New York Times bestselling author Brad Meltzer.
“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, Amelia Earhart refused to accept no for an
answer; she dared to do what no one had ever done before,
and became the first woman to fly a plane all the way across
the Atlantic Ocean. This book follows her from childhood to
her first flying lessons and onward to her
multi-record-breaking career as a pilot.
