One of my favorite book series is from Brad Meltzer and Chris Eliopoulos. They have done a series of books geared for young readers (but we adults love them as well). They take real live heroes and share their stories, often focused on what they did as children. They have had books on Martin Luther King, Billie Jean King, Neil Armstrong, Jackie Robinson, Walt Disney and Anne Frank to name just a few. The latest two are about Malafa Yousafzai and Muhammad Ali. Coming up they are going to release a series of books based on DC characters, which is very exciting. These books make great gifts for yourself or the children in your life. I promise you they are amazing.
