(4) 4-6 Photos, drawings, loud graphics, and "Fearless Fact" boxes provide interesting context for a variety of historical and contemporary heroes and heroines, including Harriet Tubman, Tina Fey, Malala Yousafzai, Galileo Galilei, and Mohandas Gandhi. The inclusion of fictional characters dilutes historical significance; brief sections on heroic animals are also included. A colorful and compartmental, if visually busy, design drives these biographical surveys. Ind. Review covers these titles: The Book of Heroes and The Book of Heroines.
