Description

From We Need Diverse Books, the organization behind Flying Lessons & Other Stories, comes another middle-grade short story collection - this one focused on exploring acts of bravery - featuring some of the best own-voices children's authors, including R. J. Palacio (Wonder), Rita Williams-Garcia (One Crazy Summer), Linda Sue Park (A Long Walk to Water), and many more. 

Not all heroes wear capes. Some heroes teach martial arts. Others talk to ghosts. A few are inventors or soccer players. They're also sisters, neighbors, and friends. Because heroes come in many shapes and sizes. But they all have one thing in common: They make the world a better place.  

Published in partnership with We Need Diverse Books, this vibrant anthology features 13 acclaimed authors whose powerful and diverse voices show how small acts of kindness can save the day. So pay attention, because a hero could be right beside you. Or maybe the hero is you. 

Authors Include: William Alexander, Joseph Bruchac, Lamar Giles, Mike Jung, Hena Khan, Juana Medina, Ellen Oh, R. J. Palacio, Linda Sue Park and Anna Dobbin, Cynthia Leitich Smith, Ronald L. Smith, Rita Williams-Garcia, and short-story contest winner Suma Subramaniam

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Fourteen stellar narrators each read one short story in this anthology by a diverse group of authors.... Most memorable is 'Reina Madrid' by R.J. Palacio, in which narrator Frankie Corzo brings 1970s Queens to life with New York accents and exquisite Spanish pronunciation.... Listeners will be inspired to spread kindness and help make the world a better place." (AudioFile Magazine)

"A stellar collection that, in celebrating heroes, helps readers find the universal in the specific." (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)
