This picture book biography relates the life and accomplishments of an American WWII hero. The brief narrative recounts Nimitz's youth, U.S. Naval Academy years, early experiences as a seaman, and his rise to commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet. Children will come away with an appreciation for Nimitz's courage and heroism, but the painterly illustrations are too stoic. Timeline.
