Barron’s story is a timely, motivational book that will have readers asking themselves how they can be genuine heroes to their families, friends, community, or to the world. There are heroes many readers would recognize like Abraham Lincoln, Jane Goodall, Lou Gehrig, Helen Keller, and Anna Frank. But most of the stories Barron uses are of unknown young people who saw a need and stood up to make a difference even in the face of physical limitations or negative criticism. Originally published in 2002, Barron has revised and updated his book to include current youth who are making a difference today. A great resource for teachers, librarians, and parents to illustrate how anyone and can make great strides on the hero’s path.
From my years as a book reviewer for Children's Book and Media Review, I know it's tricky to navigate the reading world to find "safe harbors" for our imaginations. So I have created this blog to guide young readers to wholesome literature and to highlight the authors who create it. I hope you enjoy the literary destinations ahead!
