Lessons: fight for what's right, speak your mind, freedom and justice,
“Sometimes, the hardest fights don't reveal a winner-- but they do reveal character. Especially when you're fighting for something you believe in.“
pickAnother first-person biography by Brad Meltzer, this time about Abraham Lincoln. Like all his other books, I think the comic-book-esque illustrations and first-person perspective will be entertaining for kids.
“But leadership isn't about being in charge. It's about taking care of those in your charge.“
pickA comprehensive look at George Washington's life from youth to the end of the revolutionary war, told from “his“ point of view. It provides accurate information while still being engaging and entertaining.
pickI have read Hillary Rodham Clinton's books, and this one is my favorite. This is like sitting down for coffee with a dear friend who is reflecting on life. You can feel the fight she still has regarding politics, but the fact that she has found a way to still work for the causes she believes in as a citizen is something we can all be inspired by. I do not doubt that Hillary Rodham Clinton's best years are still to come.
A teacher could use this book to introduce presidents. Student could come up with how they would run for president. Students could do a mock presidential run.
