Children Need Heroes By A Customer Some quotations from Adam Starchild's wonderful afterword to this book are appropriate:"Children today are starved for the image of real heroes. Celebrities are not the same thing as heroes. Heroes existed way before celebrities ever did, even though celebrities now outshine heroes in children's consciousness.""Worshiping celebrities leaves children with a distinctly empty feeling -- it doesn't teach that they'll have to make sacrifices if they want to achieve anything worthwhile. No- talents become celebrities all the time. The result is that people don't seem to care about achievement or talent -- fame is the only objective.""... Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of traits that instruct and inspire people. A hero does something worth talking about, but a hero goes beyond mere fame or celebrity. The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. If they serve only their own fame, they may be celebrities but not heroes. Heroes are catalysts for change. They create new possibilities. They have a vision, and the skill and charm to implement their vision.""Heroes may also be fictional. Children may identify with a character because of the values projected. People tend to grow to be like the people that they admire, but if a child never has any heroes what images will he copy? Adults need heroes too, but the need is even more urgent for children because they don't know how to think abstractly. But they can imagine what their hero would do in the circumstances, and it gives them a useful reference point to build abstract thinking skills."
8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Great book of stories from history By Robert E. Livingston I enjoyed reading of the tales from the past in our country..of people that devoted themselves to the cause of freedom. Several gave their lives and fortunes for the cause of liberty.
7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. For the younger crowd By Shells From the description, I thought this would be a book for someone my age (NOT TELLING!). The print is larger and the tales are designed for younger readers. I would recommend this for elementary, maybe junior high age students.
