Summary of 50 American Heroes Every Kid Should Meet
Anyone can be a hero. That is the central message of 50 American Heroes Every Kid Should Meet, an engaging work that, in printed form, has informed and entertained thousands of readers nationwide since the year 2000. Now in digital format, 50 American Heroes Every Kid Should Meet features updated information and a tribute to the heroes of 9/11. The authors point out that children ages 15 and younger have no memory of that tragic event. They assert that it is important that all of us connect the heroism of that day to the broader idea of REAL people who, throughout our history, have been heroes. That connection is exactly what 50 American Heroes Every Kid Should Meet provides. This is an interactive, "kid-friendly" book that motivates readers of all ages to explore the lives of REAL heroes. Each of the 50 heroes is introduced through an anecdote that highlights the hero?s qualities and life circumstances. In ?Power Words,? we get to know the hero through his or her own words. A photograph illustrates each entry, and a biography is recommended to encourage us to ?Dive In? to the hero?s story. Rounding out each entry is ?Explore,? where readers are urged to expand their hero experience through hands-on activities. Thanks to the digital format, the reader can quickly visit the many websites that the authors recommend This book?s message is timeless: REAL HEROES make the world a better place, and we must learn about them so that we can strive to be heroic in our own lives.Biographies Books
