Dear Parents and Educators,
We hope you enjoy 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 the new editions of this
popular Kane Press series to appeal to todays young learners. We
have also added new titles to spark further curiosity about our
nations holidays.
Author Barbara deRubertis, with over 30 years of experience as
a teacher and librarian, understands childrens deep-seated desire
to read and learn. One tried-and-true method for tapping into this
desire is to provide children 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.
Happy readingand learning!
