#TakingCareThurs-Ordinary People Change the World by Brad Meltzer - mariadismondy.com


About the Book-Ordinary People Change the World by Brad Meltzer

What makes a hero? Brad Meltzer and illustrator Christopher Eliopoulos answer that question, one great role model at a time. And now you can buy the first four—Abraham Lincoln, Amelia Earhart, Rosa Parks, and Albert Einstein—together in a wonderfully designed slipcase that includes an exclusive, autographed print, suitable for framing.

“This is not just a series of books,” says bestselling author Brad Meltzer. “This is my dream for my daughter. My dream for my sons. These aren’t just the stories of famous people. They’re what we’re all capable of on our very best days. This is our history and, I hope, our greatest legacy.”

What this book teaches-Responsibility

My review of the book: 

A book that teaches responsibility and generosity with beautiful illustrations. The story is about real people in history that have made a difference.  The story brings the historical aspect to children’s fiction with a lesson. It is a bit lengthy so for the younger ages so you may want to break it up and read it to the class over a couple of days. There is a lot of opportunity for follow up lessons.
