Courage, told as a story rather than a lesson. Burnham gathers heroic episodes from across the world's past, the stands, the rescues, the long odds and the refusals to run, and tells each one for the sake of the telling. Written for young readers by a man who understood that a good deed only lands if the danger is real.
