Some people seem destined to make a lasting impact on the world. They might be daring explorers like Christopher Columbus or ordinary people, like Rosa Parks, who do extraordinary things. But they share one thing in common--the desire to change history for the better. All Rookie Biographies have wonderful features like an introduction for young readers to timelines and maps. The back matter includes a poem to introduce another type of text to the reader as well as character education feature called the You Can Be... section. The You Can Be... section highlights wonderful characteristics of the subject with suggestions on how the child can put those same characteristics into practice. All Rookie Biographies also have a picture glossary to help young students expand their vocabulary. Every title offers additional information on the subject through the site factsfornow.scholastic.com. The information on the factsfornow website comes from the wealth of content that is part of the Scholastic GO databases as well as from vetted websites.
