Akira to Zoltan: Twenty-Six Men Who Changed the World
by Cynthia Chin-Lee, illustrated by Megan Halsey & Sean Addy
Grades 3-6 32 pages Charlesbridge June 2006 Hardcover    

Introduce your child to twenty-six diverse and fascinating men who changed the world, presented in alphabetical order in Akira to Zoltan: Twenty-Six Men Who Changed the World. This companion book to author Cynthia Chin-Lee’s Amelia to Zora, which presented fascinating women, now focuses on men of great achievement throughout history with intriguing profiles about each.

Kids get to meet people like oceanic explorer Jacques Cousteau, filmmaker extraordinaire Steven Spielberg, master golfer Tiger Woods, Native American activist Vine Deloria Jr., migrant worker hero Cesar Chavez, and a host of other men who have changed history with their achievements, activism and ambitions.

From international leaders to the man who created “The Happiest Place on Earth,” kids learn all kinds of facts and information about these very special men. The collage-style illustrations by Megan Halsey and Sean Addy are unique, creative and vibrant, jumping off the page and making history come alive.

Akira to Zoltan proves that learning can be fun, and that getting to know some of the world’s most amazing men can be an inspiring way to wake up the individual dreams of each child. Who knows? Your own child may one day end up in a book like this.
