“Little Libraries, Big Heroes grew out of my knowledge that one person can make a difference,” says author Miranda Paul. “I love to champion everyday heroes who are working at the grassroots level. Stewards are ordinary heroes and the gift they give their communities should never be seen as too small to celebrate.”
The book, which begins with the story of Todd’s childhood as a struggling reader, is getting rave reviews. “The way the text traces Bol’s big idea back to its emotional source offers a path to heroes literary and ordinary both,” says Publishers Weekly.
