      I love books like this. Children get to see the achievements of memorable people and read about it on their level.

      “Tell us why you are excited to win this giveaway or who your favorite legend is!” Hmm. How about silent-film actor Lon Chaney?–he was great!

      My favorite legend is Marie Curie who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first person and only woman to win twice, the only person to win a Nobel Prize in two different sciences.

      As a young girl, I loved the story of how Theodore Roosevelt grew from a bookish, asthmatic child to become the energetic, enthusiastic president of the United States. As an adult I appreciate his intelligence, how much he loved his wife, his hearty embrace of life, and many other things. I see flaws and ways we differ on policy, but I love the man.

      If I win, I would read and review these books on my blog and then donate them to the school library where I am the librarian. JRR Tolkien’s writings had a great influence in the lives of 2 of my children. I would love to learn more about his childhood.

      I would love to win these for my granddaughter. My favorite legend was President Ronald Reagan. He was and is a legend in my opinion.

      I think these are great books for children to become aware of the difference and challenges that some children were exposed to in their lives and yet turned into successful adults.

      My boys looked up to sports phenoms like LeBron James in Basketball, Tiger Woods in Golf, and Corey Kluber in Baseball. They also played those three sports and more which teach discipline and how to be ready to play and to maintain an attitude of ambition to play their best.
