Courage. Compassion. Conviction.
Three timeless heroes. One unforgettable collection.

In this beautifully illustrated boxed set, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. brings to life three extraordinary true stories of moral courage and selfless leadership-written to inspire young readers and families alike.

• Robert Smalls - The enslaved man who risked everything for freedom, stealing a Confederate ship to deliver his family-and his nation-to liberty.
• Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain - The humble professor who became a Civil War hero at Gettysburg, defending the ideals of courage, faith, and unity.
• Saint Francis of Assisi - The gentle saint who gave up wealth to serve others and protect the natural world.

Each story celebrates the enduring power of integrity, empathy, and bravery-the qualities that define true heroism across generations.

Perfect for readers aged 6-10, this collection invites children to explore history through the lives of those who acted with conscience and heart.
