Summary:

"One kind act. One spark of bravery. One big idea from someone nobody expected. In this beautifully illustrated collection, you'll meet twelve real people from America's past--some famous, most not--whose choices changed the course of history. You'll meet María de López, who drove ambulances during World War I and helped win the vote for women. You'll read about two boys--Norman and Alan--who met at a campout, stayed friends for life, and helped lead the country together. And you'll discover how teachers, kids, and quiet changemakers made a mighty difference in their communities. With powerful storytelling from #1 New York Times bestselling author Sharon McMahon and vivid art from award-winning illustrator Susanna Chapman, We Are Mighty celebrates courage, character, and the idea that the smallest step can create ripples we can't yet see."-- Provided by publisher.
