I loved the brief biographies – the students could read a couple as they were lined up or simply passing by. The cartoon characters were a plus!

Great Resource
Luck in Room Thirteen –
These are great! Very eye-catching and informative. I had the book, but few kids picked it up on their own. I displayed these in the hallway and kids read them as they waited by their lockers. Great product!

I loved these short bios! We used the in counseling to look for character traits and decide if we have/want to have them too! I ended up buying the books that inspired the handouts as I liked how diverse and unique the historical figures were as opposed to the usual Black History month go-to’s of just Harriet Tubman and Rosa Parks. I even learned something!
