John Denver: Man for the World

this is a wonderful introduction to the life of John Denver for the young reader. The content is excellent and is written in a friendly tone. I love the Know More sections, which further explain some of the concepts covered in the text. The Story Behind the Song boxes give an insight into what inspired some of the songs that John wrote. Every school library should own a copy of this book to encourage children to read about the life work of John Denver. I purchased two copies of this book - one for me and one to be donated to a school.
