Synopsis

What is honor? How does someone show resourcefulness? What does it mean to be patient, forgiving, or brave? When it comes to understanding and developing character traits, biographical stories are a powerful tool. 

Powerful not only because they so effectively illustrate virtues but also because your young reader doesn't feel preached at. 

These 10 stories are engrossing! 

• Instead of being told, "You should be dependable," they will read about medic Cecil Breeden who unflinchingly administered medical care to wounded soldiers on Omaha Beach amidst heavy German fire on D-Day. 
• Instead of hearing that forgiveness is an attractive virtue, they get consumed with the story of Jacob DeShazer who, after enduring harsh imprisonment and torture by the Japanese, found the capacity to forgive his captors and returned to Japan as a missionary. 
• Instead of being admonished to be more discerning, they see how Commander Eugene Fluckey meticulously planned a daring mission to blow up a Japanese supply train, carefully selecting his crew to ensure the mission's success and his men's safety. 

Packed with adventure, danger, and real historical drama, these books keep your students turning pages as they devour tales of daring rescues, sabotage missions, death-defying pursuits, and ultimate sacrifice. 

In ten biographical sketches, see how a figure from World War II and its aftermath demonstrates a key virtue.
