4-6Young Heroes series.
Profiling two young Canadians, these inspiring if preachy biographies present challenging social issues (child labor and homelessness) through real-life tales of childhood activism. Both Kielburger and Taylor were spurred by personal experiences, and these books emphasize how individual action can lead to worldwide change. Suggestions are included for how readers can get involved with these causes in their own communities. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
