Children have always had the ability to shape history and change the world. Learn the stories of four of those children—Ruby Bridges, Anne Frank, Ryan White, and Malala Yousafzai—and be inspired by how they used their powers and maintained bravery, dignity, and pride in the face of fear, prejudice, and discrimination.
The Power of Children® is recommended for ages 8 and up.
