From the fearless leadership of Sam Houston to the determination of
Selena Quintanilla-Pérez, Courageous People from Texas 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 Texans: Stephen Austin, Sam Houston, Lyndon and
Lady Bird Johnson, the Bush Family, Sandra Day O'Connor, Ann Richards,
Buddy Holly, Barbara Jordan, Selena Quintanilla-Perez, Vickie Gutierrez,
and J. J. Watt. A quote from each hero is included on each spread along
with colorful, delightful artwork.
