American Heroes

Ruby Bridges helped bring races together at a young age. Alice Wong advocates for people with disabilities. George Washington Carver changed the way we grow crops. American Heroes introduces readers to historical and present-day citizens from all walks of life who changed the United States for the better. Historical and current photos complement the text, and a timeline shows major events in the person's life. Each book also has a table of contents, infographic, glossary, index, compelling What Do You Think? sidebars to encourage deeper inquiry, and reading tips for teachers and parents.
