Dr. Dennis Denenberg
The cornerstone of my work is 50 American Heroes Every Kid Should Meet! which I co-authored with Lorraine Roscoe. It is a 2006 Notable Children?s Trade Book, it was featured in USA Today on March 20, and I was interviewed on CNN Live in April about my award-winning work. It is an interactive ?kid-friendly? book that motivates kids (and adults) to explore the lives of heroes at home or at school. Each page includes an important quote by each hero, a short biography about each hero, photographs, a section where readers are encouraged to extend their learning, and other books about that hero. Over 50,000 copies have already been sold!
The list of 50 heroes profiled is available here.
You can look inside to view a sample profile of Roberto Clemente (in pdf format) here.
Reviews of the book are available here.
Information on how to order the book is available here.
