This former high school social studies teacher, former elementary school principal and former assistant superintendent of schools knows that children can grow up in a world without real heroes.  Dr. Dennis Denenberg believes that children need real heroes—not just heroes of the cartoon variety—in their lives.

 

In his book, 50 American Heroes Every Kid Should Meet, Denenberg and coauthor Lorraine Roscoe introduce students to ordinary people who do extraordinary things.  50 American Heroes Every Kid Should Meet contains short biographies to whet the reader’s appetite and to encourage students to seek out more information.
