As
all of the Theodore Roosevelt biography books below will attest,
Roosevelt was one of the most influential leaders any nation has ever
had. He was a multi-talent, energetic man whose fierce determination
helped him
overcome the obstacles of his youth and his political career.
True, the life story of each of our former presidents is inspirational and important, but...there's something special about Theodore Roosevelt's story. He had such gumption and determination. He did so much and had such a big personality that kids are drawn to learning about his life and all his many adventures. And--side note--the fact that he was picked on by bullies but ended up as the President... that can be pretty comforting to a student dealing with his or her own bullying problems.
