Four True Life Stories About Courage (Paperback)

Description from the book back cover: Meet four extraordinary people who touched the world and earned the respect of millions. You'll learn about the challenges they faced and overcame to succeed. Look inside - you'll be amazed by these inspiring real-life stories of courage. CHRISTOPHER REEVE is battling back from a devastating injury and showing the world what real courage is. In the process, he has become a true Superman for all the world to admire. SACAGAWEA made her indelible mark on this nation's history by courageously helping an entire expedition make its way through the uncharted wilderness of the western United States. CHARLES LINDBERG was a skilled pilot, daredevil, and innovator who made history when he made the first solo transatlantic flight. With little food and no parachute or communication equipment, he set out on a dangerous mission - and returned an international hero. RUBY BRIDGES was only six years old when she walked into American history. As the first - and only - black student in an all-white school, she bravely took a first step toward integrating not only schools, but the nation itself.
