Customer Reviews

A wonderful international cross-section of visionary, trailblazing, and role models among men

Akira to Zoltan: Twenty-Six Men Who Changed the World is combination picturebook, alphabet book, and biography for young readers. Each page corresponds to the name of a different man whose dedication left an indissoluble mark on history. A thumbnail biography, color illustration of each individual, and a notable quote outline the contributions of Cesar Estrada Chavez, co-founder of the United Farm Workers; soccer superstar Pele; builder of dreams Walt Disney; and many more. A wonderful international cross-section of visionary, trailblazing, and role models among men, especially recommended for young boys.
