Full of beautiful National Geographic photography and decodable text reviewed by educational experts, this Level 1 reader is perfect for kids who are starting to read on their own. A glossary of key terms and a hands-on activity reinforce new vocabulary and concepts introduced throughout the book.

About the author
BARBARA KRAMER began writing biographies for children and young adults after following the advice of another author who said, "Write what you like to read." She remembered how much she enjoyed biographies when she was a kid, especially stories about trailblazers such as Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone, and Elizabeth Blackwell and decided that's what she wanted to write. Her subjects have included both historical figures and people in the news.
