Our Heroes: How Kids Are Making a Difference

By Janet Wilson

Book Overview

A girl who founded a charity for girls' education, a boy who raised money with every baseball he could hit. True stories of children who opened up their hearts and minds to the unfairness of the world and decided to try and make a difference, because everyone deserves to be happy. Andrew Adansi-Bonnah from Ghana raised thousands of dollars for refugee children in Somalia after seeing their terrible situation on the news. Jonathan Lee from South Korea was given special permission to travel to North Korea to talk about the environment. Mimi Ausland from the USA, nicknamed "Dr. Doolittle," started a website to collect donations for shelter animals. All of them are everyday heroes, and you can be one too.
