filled with courage, enthusiasm, inspiration.Lives: Poems About Famous Americans is the ideal introduction to sixteen American personalities who have changed the course of history.

Kennedy, to portray such figures as Sacagawea, Babe Ruth, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Leslie Staubs portraits contain a poetry of their own, capturing a bit of history in the glint of smile or the reach of a hand. Lives is a book for all readers to savor.
