What is a superhero? Meet 20 real people who have accomplished incredible things—and discover your own special powers!
You don’t need a mask or cloak to be a hero, and you don’t need superpowers, either– just courage, determination, and hard work. Throughout history, there have been many so-called “ordinary” people who used their talents to make our world a better place. Here are 20 such men and women, from suffragettes and scientists to aviators, artists, and activists. Some had to overcome great challenges, and others had to try and try again, but all ultimately succeeded in their revolutionary achievements. Best of all, you can be a superhero, too—with or without your cape!

Dans ce documentaire,un bref aperçu de personnes ayant marqué l’histoire, sont présentés de façon héroïque. Les textes sont courts, mais précis. Les mots les plus importants apparaissent en majuscule dans le texte. Et les illustrations ! Elles sont magnifiques!
A beautiful book about people who fought for their dreams and made history. I love the illustration, but I just find the first-person narrative to be a bit weird, especially since some of them are dead and missing. I also find it to be a bit too concise, but I love how they managed to weave in memorable quotes from these famous people. Definitely a book I'd recommend for parents and kids to read. And anyone who wants a break from heavy books.
