{"product_id":"the-heros-trail-isbn-9780142407608","title":"The Hero's Trail","description":"What is a hero? Using the metaphor of a hiking trail, bestselling author T. A. Barron discusses the great variety of heroes and brings them to life through their own stories: Some are well known, like Wilma Rudolph, Anne Frank, and Stephen Hawking. Yet most are “ordinary kids” who have made amazing choices: saved their siblings from a fire, struggled to stop prejudice at their school, helped raise money to build a well in an African village. This book will be invaluable to kids, parents, and educators who need role models for young people to look up to—and a new way to look at what a hero is.* “A rewarding, informative read, the book introduces and pays homage to heroes throughout time, literature, and life.”\u003cb\u003e starred review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e — \u003cb\u003eBooklist\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The stories are well worth sharing.\" — \u003cb\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The simplicity of the message and wide range of examples combine to make compelling motivational reading.\" — \u003cb\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Here is so much grace to regard closely, to hold tight in mind, heart, and soul.\" — \u003cb\u003efrom the preface by Robert Coles, M.
