Time for Kids Biographies series.
Accompanied by photographs, reproductions of posters, and sidebars, these distractingly designed biographies provide solid information about each person's life, family, and accomplishments. The text takes on complex subjects, such as segregation, but remains accessible for the audience. The books conclude with a short interview of a person associated with the subject (however tangentially). Timeline. Review covers these Time for Kids Biographies titles: Theodore Roosevelt, Harriet Tubman, and John F. Kennedy.
