“We can all be heroes” is the message of this picture-book biography series from #1 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 a vivacious, conversational way that works well for the youngest nonfiction readers, those who aren’t quite ready for the Who Was biography series. Each book focuses on a particular character trait that made that role model heroic. For example, Lucille Ball could make any situation funny. By making people around the world laugh, she proved that humor can take on anything.
This engaging series is the perfect way to bring American history to life for young children, providing them with the right role models, supplementing Common Core learning in the classroom, and best of all, inspiring them to strive and dream.
This is a smaller picture book style book that is actually a biography written for kids. I love how it shows kids how Lucille Ball was different and thats okay. It shows her as a child and moving up to an adult all in way that is readable for kids. It is perfect for kids to learn about someone in a fun way. Each page has illustrations on it that are bright and colorful, very fun to look at it.
