What is a hero? Using the metaphor of a hiking trail, bestselling author
T. A. Barron discusses the great variety of heroes and brings them to
life through their own stories: Some are well known, like Wilma Rudolph,
Anne Frank, and Stephen Hawking. Yet most are "ordinary kids" who have
made amazing choices: saved their siblings from a fire, struggled to
stop prejudice at their school, helped raise money to build a well in an
African village. This book will be invaluable to kids, parents, and
educators who need role models for young people to look up to--and a new
way to look at what a hero is.
