A New York Times Bestseller!
Just How Big Can a Little Boy Dream?
Who is your hero?
Alexander takes a rip-roaring historical adventure! Through his imaginative journey, Alexander discovers how great men become heroes: the roughest rider can be surprisingly gentle, a strong leader is also the most peaceful, and sometimes, being brave about what makes you different will not only help you break records, but inspire others.
Join Alexander as he learns how these remarkable men changed the world and encouraged him to find the hero within himself.
"Clever text and exuberant illustrations makes this book a perfect way to introduce kids to historical figures."—Deborah Underwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Quiet Book
Recognition for My Name Is Not Isabella:
National Parenting Publications Gold Award Gold Moonbeam Children's Book Award Silver ForeWord Book of the Year Award for Picture Boo

In September last year I introduced you to an awesome book of inspiration (New York Times Bestseller) My Name is Not Isabella, and now there is one of the male influence with Alexander! I absolutely love the Isabella book and I really do like this Alexander book. Same artist but geared toward a different audience I have to admit I prefer the Isabella book, but then I am a girl and mother of a girl. Yet in the same manner through out the day the inspiration that this little boy thrives on is amazing. Going through so many important characters of history this little guy's imagination keeps him going places and going strong.

This is great for anyone, for homeschool or any bookshelf for great educational value and encouragement for a bright future.

*Thanks to Sourcebooks for providing a copy for review.*
