What does it take to become a hero? The courage to believe that you can make a difference! In this book you will read about everyday kids from the past and the present who summoned the hero within when daunting circumstances challenged them to stand up for their beliefs. From Fa Mu-lan, who was only a young girl when she disguised herself as a man to fight in the Chinese army against the brutal Tartars, to Dilli Chaudhary, who continues to fight against slavery and is the founder of a powerful group that works for the abolition of bonded labor in Nepal, this inspiring collection of biographies will inspire both kids and adults to see the world as a place where one person really can make a difference.
