Included in each book are:   A timeline of key events in the hero’s history  Photos that bring the story more fully to life  Comic-book-style illustrations that are irresistibly adorable Childhood moments that influenced the hero   Facts that make great conversation-starters  A virtue this person embodies: Jesse Owens’s drive and perseverance are highlighted You’ll want to collect each book in this dynamic, informative series!
