"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

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.
This engaging series is the perfect way to bring American history
to life for young children, and to inspire them to strive and
dream.
