Through the four page vignettes showcasing the lives of dignitaries such as Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Jim Thorpe, Heather Whitestone, and Eleanor Roosevelt Humphrey enlighten young readers toward understanding that those we call heroes were/are everyday people whose strength of character allowed them to accomplish exceptional acts.

Hi Sandra, You've got it spot on. I find the characters in my stories consume me too - eating, breathing, sleeping - they are always there peeking from somewhere. I even look for them amidst the strollers on the street and the kids at the gaming parlour, the women at the supermarket and the man riding down the elevator with me.
An enriching read. Thank you. - shoma
