...Just How Big Can a Little kid Dream?
Who is your hero?
Alexander takes a rip-roaring historical adventure! Through his imaginative journey, Alexander discovers how great men become heroes: the roughest rider can be surprisingly gentle, a strong leader is also the most peaceful, and sometimes, being brave about what makes you different will not only help you break records, but inspire others.
Join Alexander as he learns how these remarkable men changed the world and encouraged him to find the hero within himself.

“What an imagination! Alexander takes on the roles of Theodore Roosevelt, Fred Astaire, and others by day, but at bedtime, he’s ready to be himself again.”
“This cleverly crafted picture book pays homage not only to diverse heroes, but also to the children who engage in imaginary adventures with them.”
“The young narrator’s big personality comes through clearly in Litwin’s grainy-surfaced cartoon scenes.”
“I can happily recommend it as a great read…Just like in the first book, the pictures are terrific and have lots of clues to share with its audience. The “Men Who Changed the World” appendix has just the right amount of interesting material to whet young readers’ appetites for more.”
“I like having positive male role models for my sons, and this was an easy way to introduce some to them.”
“This is a wonderful book to introduce boys to some amazing role models and empower them with the knowledge that they can be anything they want to be. You can't help but be drawn to the amazing illustrations by Mike Litwin and the underlying message of being yourself reigns supreme.”
“[A] jumping off point to some great history discussions!”
“Children are learning a little bit of history (even if they don’t know it) while reading this story. It also teaches that you can achieve some amazing goals and be anything you want to be”

Jennifer Fosberry did a wonderful job at writing a charming story for children that's filled with nurturing lessons.
