The Children’s Book of Heroes
By: William J. Bennett
Illustrated by: Michael Hague
Review by: Robin Hatfield
We all have heroes, both real and fictional. We all need heroes. They help build our character, expand our courage and inspire us throughout our lives. Children hear the story of David and Goliath and are encouraged by little David’s triumph over the mighty giant. A Prayer at Valley Forge reminds us of the faith George Washington had and how he became a hero to his men and to America. Jackie Robinson inspired people everywhere and Annie Sullivan proved to be a miracle worker. We, as parents, are heroes to our children. Abraham Lincoln and Mother Teresa are two other familiar heroes that are featured in this uplifting book-a terrific choice!
