Miranda Paul's story, Little Libraries Big Heroes, told the story of a real-life person and his
idea to make the world a better place. He wanted to give back to the community the same way
his mom had. His mom had taught children in his neighborhood how to read. He thought, since
she had died, that he would follow her example. He decided to create a “little free library”. This
little free library resembled a big bird house, and was placed outside of his home. The way it
worked was that books were placed inside of it, and people from the community could give and
take books from it. Soon his neighbors started to crowd his house and tell him what a brilliant
idea it was. Who knew the little spark of imagination the main character got from the influence of
his mother could make other people's lives just a little bit brighter.
His friend told him that his idea of a little free library had a lot of potential. He thought
that thousands of these libraries should be placed all over the country. The main character,
Todd, wasn't so sure. He was just an ordinary person. He didn't think he could ever achieve
such a thing. But his friend ended up convincing him to do so, and so he did. He ended up
exceeding his expectations, with little free libraries being placed all over the world. Children
everywhere were influenced by Todd's creation and learned how to read.
The story book is
trying to get across the point that ordinary people can do extraordinary things. I think they
managed to get that point across pretty clearly, and did a good job inspiring kids that they can
do anything they set their minds to. Overall I think this is a great book for developing young
minds.
