      Gr 4-6-These titles amplify the voices of famous people with disabilities and examine the obstacles they overcame. Each book provides basic biographical information about the subjects, and emphasis is placed on how they achieved success in their fields. Shaquem Griffin's story is especially amazing. Griffin, who is currently an NFL linebacker for the Seattle Seahawks, was born with amniotic band syndrome. Many of the profiled individuals created foundations or publicly advocated for others with similar conditions. The narratives should be interesting enough to young readers who are writing reports. Photographs feature close-ups of the subjects, and the action shots of Griffin are appealing. VERDICT Inspiring and informational, particularly the titles on Griffin and Helen Keller. These books will be nice additions to school and public libraries; purchase based on need.
