Attack of 911 childrens biography book

Silently making the seasons, blazing with a million red hearts in the fall. This book focuses on the heroes; the attacks are described but not focused on. The Man in the Red Bandanna by Honor Crother Fagan, illustrated by John Crowther ages 7 — 10 Welles has worn his red bandanna since his dad gave it to him — and on September 11, people remember the brave man with the red bandanna whose heroic actions saved many people on the top floors of the South Tower.

Simple picture book text captures an inspiring, true story about an everyday hero. This picture book does just that. It details how, after the towers fell, many people needed to get to safety, and boats of every kind raced to Manhattan Island to rescue as many people as possible. The author was one of the people rescued by a boat! The day is violent and hard yet this first-person retelling is kid-appropriate without being watered down.

Eleven by Tom Rogers ages 9 — 12 Skillful writing weaves a gripping, emotional story about a boy named Alex, who turns eleven on September 11, , and who wants a dog for his birthday. Don Brown has two books about that terrible day, published ten years apart. America is Under Attack , which came out at the 10th anniversary of the terror attack, lays it all bare in a picture book style: the hijacked planes, the workers in the twin towers, the fear, the falling, all of it.

Hyper-focused on an almost minute-by-minute account starting at 8 a. There is more hindsight now, more ash, more rubble, more helpers—and more explanation. And that explanation is critical. In his second look back, Don Brown tries to explain what seems inexplicable. He reaches farther into why the Taliban would attack us, the terrible Islamophobia that came after, the attempts to stop it, and the decision to send American troops to Afghanistan.

And there are many dots that lead up to that day that I may never find. The picture only grows more complex. But we have to try to connect them, to remember, explain, learn—and to keep it from happening again. Honor Crowther Fagan. Jim O'Connor. Eric Walters. Robin F. Cheryl Somers Aubin.
