What makes these kids so special?
Eleven-year-old Tilly saved the lives of 100 people in Thailand because she knew the warning signs of a tsunami. Ten-year-old Jean-Dominic won a battle against pesticides—and the cancer they caused in his body. Fifteen-year-old Malika fought against segregation in her Alabama town. Six-year-old Ryan raised over one million dollars to drill water wells in Africa. And thirteen-year-old Bethany, a competitive surfer, lost her left arm (and almost her life) to a shark, but got back on her surfboard. In all, Real Kids, Real Stories, Real Change profiles 30 multicultural kid heroes in five areas:
*Kids Saving the Environment
*Kids Standing Up for Themselves
*Kids Helping Others
*Kids Overcoming Challenges
*Kids Using Talents and Creativity
As young readers meet these boys and girls from around the globe, they may wonder, “What kind of hero lives inside of me?” Teachers, use this engaging resource for service learning, character education, and social studies.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 改變自己或幫助別人需要有一定的年紀嗎？十幾歲的孩子能做些什麼，他們能為為自己或周遭帶來多大的改變呢？11歲的泰國小孩Tilly，因為懂得如何辨別海嘯，而拯救100多人的性命；10歲的加拿大孩子Jean-Dominic戰勝了有毒物質及侵害村人身體的癌症病毒；15歲的美國孩子Malika成功的打破在阿拉巴馬地區的種族隔離政策；6歲的Ryan成功募得百萬美元，幫助非洲缺水的國家…
30個真實故事中談是這些孩子如何為自己發聲、幫助他人、保護生存的環境，發揮創造及想像的能力。
這些看似英雄般的孩子究竟為何如此特別？他們是如何利用自己的腦力、人格特質、愛心及勇氣，甚至一些莫名的堅持，創造出這些令人讚嘆的事蹟？
你我的小孩是不是其實也有同樣的特質，身為他們的父母或老師要如何激發他們的想法，用他們的心，透過勇氣一步步改變自己也改變他人。(Vincent)
