From the astounding talent of Fred Astaire to the passionate integrity
of Grace Abbot, Courageous People from Nebraska Who Changed the World
is a young child's first introduction to the brave people from their
home state who made a difference.
Simple text and adorable illustrations tell the contributions of more
than a dozen courageous Nebraskans: Red Cloud, Jay W. Forrester, Susan
and Susette La Flesche, Fred Astaire, Father Flanagan, Willa Cather,
Grace Abbot, Howard Hanson, Gerald Ford, and Warren Buffet. A quote from
each hero is included on each spread along with colorful, delightful
artwork.
