Dear Parents and Educators,

We hope you enjoy these new editions of the H

olidays & H eroes

Each book in this series tells the story of an important American

holiday and the hero or heroes who are honored on that day. With

richly detailed information presented simply for children, and with

the integration of colorful original illustrations, photographs, and

other historical images, we have designed these new editions to

appeal to todays young learners.

Author Barbara deRubertis, with over 30 years of experience as

a teacher and librarian, understands how children come to love

reading and learning. One tried-and-true way to tap into this

desire is to provide them with lively, engaging materials that offer

a variety of valuable learning experiences.

It is our sincere hope that H

olidays & H eroes will engage, inform,

inspire, and motivate children by helping them connect to the

people and events that make up an integral part of our countrys

history.
