Daring men and women aren’t just found in the pages of fictional stories. In fact, history offers us a number of examples of people who stood up for what was right in the face of significant opposition. Their stories can inspire us to also be courageous when the situation calls for it.
Throughout history, a certain few people have made risky decisions in an attempt to solve a problem that many people were experiencing, hoping that their new innovation or invention would be able to serve these people and that they—the entrepreneurs, as we call them—would be able to profit in return.
In a society where countless ideas are being shared, debated, and analyzed, it’s more important than ever to sift out the good ones from among the bad ones. And when people you respect and trust use arguments that sound persuasive, how can you determine if they are correct?
What is it about human nature that leads some people to commit unspeakably evil acts?
And, perhaps a more important question for each of us, why do so many people submit to or even support these villains?
Conspiracies often dwell in the realms of fantasy and fiction. But what happens when some of the “theories” dismissed by politicians and the media instead turn out to be true?
It’s election time for the cul-de-sac kids club and Karinne is spreading sleazy lies about Ethan. To learn what it means to have free speech the twins visit James Madison, Mr. Megaphone, and even North Korea.
Will they be able to stop Karinne while protecting her right to free speech?
Drip drip. After learning about how big businesses can give rise to laws that keep smaller ones from being able to survive, the twins head off to Atlantis. Will Ethan and Emily be able to stop the protectionism there before things get too wet?
When a recession looms over their community, Emily and Ethan are zapped into a game of Creatures and Crisis, where they learn about the dangers of giving up their freedoms in times of fear.
Will what they learn be enough to defeat the fearsome Leviathan?
Everything is on the line when the twins find themselves in the forbidden future under the control of a totalitarian regime. The twins must hold on to all the lessons they’ve learned in order to fight back.
Can they escape and make a better future than the one they’re trapped?
A science camp rivalry threatens to destroy Emily’s dreams (and science project). Grandma Gabby takes the twins to India and a worm battlefield to learn about the golden rule before rivalry escalates out of control.
The Twelve Days of Christmas illustrated by Jan Brett contains the sheet music and lyrics to the classic Christmas carol. The book features the full text of the carol, strikingly illustrated by Brett’s exquisitely detailed artwork.
