The Tip is 'Ask manufacturers' Some times I have run across an advertisement that implied a product was Made in USA but the product did not have the Made in USA label. Before I buy or put the product on my Made in USA list, I email the manufacturer and ask if their product is Made in USA. If they say yes I ask why their product is not labeled that way. Seldom will they tell me why but many times they will tell me every component that is Made in the USA and those that are not. I then make my decision about buying their product and put it on my list if they convince me. 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.
