I love children's biographies. Here are some newer titles to consider . . .
"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."
I am Amelia Earhart - 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.
I am Abraham Lincoln - 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.
I am Rosa Parks - Rosa Parks dared to stand up for herself and other African Americans by
staying seated, and as a result she helped end public bus segregation
and launch the country’s Civil Rights Movement.
Heroes for My Daughter - National bestselling novelist Brad Meltzer brings together the stories
of fifty-five remarkable individuals, from intellectual explorers such
as Marie Curie, Sally Ride, and Jane Goodall to cultural champions like
Billie Jean King; from implacable public figures such as Rosa Parks and
Winston Churchill to artistic icons such as Leonardo Da Vinci and Stevie
Wonder; and beyond. Heroes for My Daughter is Meltzer’s
collection of inspirational, real-life figures for his daughter, and
yours, to learn how to lead a powerful, motivated, fulfilling life.
Heroes for My Son - Bestselling novelist Brad Meltzer (The Book of Fate, The Tenth Justice, The Book of Lies) has been collecting heroes from whom his son can learn how to live a good life. In Heroes for My Son,
Meltzer shares, with parents everywhere, the stories of 52 such
heroes—from Dr. Seuss and Mr. Rogers to Mother Theresa and Mohandas
Gandhi.
