This informational book tells the life story of Eleanor Roosevelt and all of her accomplishments during her lifetime.  Eleanor Roosevelt was married to the President Franklin D. Roosevelt and was first lady of the world. Many of her accomplishments include being a social activist, humanitarian, and a crusader for human rights. I learned while reading that she was raised by her grandmother after the death of her parents. Also, after her husband passed away she remained in the public light and helped the public. She became the delegate to the United Nations and as chairman of the human rights commission. 
 This book is a Newberry Honor book and is very interesting to read!!! Students will learn a lot about the first lady and all of the experiences while being married to the president of the United States.  The pictures in the book are great and show all of the activities and involvement in her community.  This book helps students realize that the wife of a president helps in many organizations and events. This book is great for ages 9 and up because they will be able to understand the meaning of the vocabulary words mentioned. This would be an excellent book for a student to write a report on!
BIG question..."Why is it important to have goals?"
