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. So begins the day for Alexander, an imaginative little boy who explores the innovative men who influenced and shaped our world including Teddy Roosevelt, Thomas Edison, Chief Joseph, Jackie Robinson, Fred Astaire, and more! Join Alexander as he learns how these remarkable men changed the world and encouraged him to find the hero within himself.
