Brad Meltzer and illustrator Christopher Eliopoulos answer that question, one great role model at a time. “This is not just a series of books,” says bestselling author Brad Meltzer. “This is my dream for my daughter. My dream for my sons. These aren’t just the stories of famous people. They’re what we’re all capable of on our very best days. This is our history and, I hope, our greatest legacy.” These kids grew up to be scientists, athletes, leaders, and activists who made their dreams come true. The books inspire and encourage kids.
