Each picture book in this series is a biography of an American hero,
told in a simple, conversational, vivacious way, and always focusing on
a character trait that made the person heroic. (Cover may vary)
The heros are depicted as children throughout, telling their life
stories in first-person present tense, which keeps the books playful and
accessible to young children. This book spotlights Abraham Lincoln who
always spoke his mind and was unafraid to speak for others.This
friendly, fun biography series inspired the PBS Kids TV show Xavier
Riddle and the Secret Museum. One great role model at a time, these
books encourage kids to dream big.
Included in each book are:
- A timeline of key events in the hero's history
- Photos that bring the story more fully to life
- Comic-book-style illustrations that are irresistibly adorable
- Childhood moments that influenced the hero
- Facts that make great conversation-starters
- A virtue this person embodies: Abraham Lincoln's compassion made
him a great leader.
