The quotes and brief biographies in Americans Who Tell the Truth are a perfect introduction to begin discussions with children about patriotism, truth, and integrity. Some of America's most memorable and admirable historical figures, from a broad range of society, including scientists, writers, activists, and musicians, are represented. Great for personal libraries and classrooms.
