The Tip is 'Ask family & friends' After reading the Big Secret I began to ask my family and friends about Made in USA products. It amazed me how many of them were already thinking about the subject. After asking the question all of us began to exchange useful information about where to buy Made in USA products. This was a huge help and now my entire family bring me containers with the Made in USA label on them. I record this information for us by Submitting our Secret to Made in America Secrets. Now we won't forget and next time we already know where to buy. Looking is now a family experience and our friends too are involved. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Heros 4 US Dr. Dennis Denenberg The cornerstone of my work is 50 American Heroes Every Kid Should Meet! which I co-authored with Lorraine Roscoe. It is a 2006 Notable Children?s Trade Book, it was featured in USA Today on March 20, and I was interviewed on CNN Live in April about my award-winning work. It is an interactive ?kid-friendly? book that motivates kids (and adults) to explore the lives of heroes at home or at school. Each page includes an important quote by each hero, a short biography about each hero, photographs, a section where readers are encouraged to extend their learning, and other books about that hero. Over 50,000 copies have already been sold! The list of 50 heroes profiled is available here. You can look inside to view a sample profile of Roberto Clemente (in pdf format) here. Reviews of the book are available here. Information on how to order the book is available here. Dr. Denenberg is also the author of two additional books dealing with real heroes: -Toward A Human Curriculum: A Guide to Returning Great People to Classrooms and Homes (Trillium Press, 1991) -Hooray for Heroes! Books and Activities Kids Want to Share with Their Parents and Teachers, co-authored by Lorraine Roscoe (University Press, 1994) * Numerous articles about the importance of heroes * Two chapters: Heroes and Heroines and Children Belong Together in Educational Innovation: An Agenda to Frame the Future (Charles E.
