I recently was sent a copy of "My Name Is Not Alexander " to review. Throughout his day, the title character Alexander imagines himself taking on the adventures of several famous men who made their mark on history. This book empowers children to realize their true capabilities, while still letting their own personality radiate.

It is a wonderful example of role models. A back of the book “Men Who Changed the World” section features short bios of the famous men Alexander pretends to be.. I enjoyed reading the bios myself! I loved whowas listed as last powerful man. I won't say who it is... you will need to pick this book up for Easter to see who it is!
