Wonderful poems about "real heroes"

Beautifully illustrated poems about the real heroes and she-roes you meet in life; past, present and inspiring for the future. The poems are lighthearted and the illustrations have an everyday twist. A good way to inspire children to emulate qualities heroes and she-roes possess.

Entertaining and Educational

I was delighted to come across Heroes and She-roes. This book cleverly introduces children to many of the most inspiring characters from history and today using poetry to tell their stories. Greats like Joan of Arc, Gandhi, and Rosa Parks are covered along with heroes and she-roes children will recognize from today such as firemen and teachers. The beautiful illustrations throughout make these figures come alive, and the poetry format is an excellent tool for helping kids learn and remember the significance of the characters. This book would be a great addition to any home or classroom.
