Biographies are such a good way to inspire our kids to dream big - to give them examples of extraordinary accomplishments and perseverance.
We've been reading and listening to excellent biographies this summer, and I wanted to share three of our favorite series with you.
Do you have a son who is a reluctant reader?
I do.
Oh, he can read very well. Once he finds something that interests him he will read it OVER and OVER and OVER.
He won't, however, choose to sit down with a book for fun. He doesn't DEVOUR a wonderful story like his 12 year old sister will. (At this age she was reading Harry Potter, Cornelia Funke, and Dear America.)
He doesn't CRAVE a good book like I do. When I let him choose a book to read he always picks the one with the least amount of pages. (sigh)
