They will also experience life in America when the telephone, airplane, and automobile were all brand-new, when women, blacks, and laborers were demanding equal rights, and when the cry for expansion stretched the borders from Maine to the Philippines and from Puerto Rico to Alaska. This was an age in which Roosevelt's promise to give every American a \"square deal\" and to \"walk softly and carry a big stick\" helped build the country into a world power. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith a new adventure on almost every page, readers will find themselves \"wowed\" by this true story of a larger-than-life American hero, and the country and times in which he lived. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNational Geographic supports K-12 educators with ELA Common Core Resources.\u003cbr\u003eVisit www.natgeoed.org\/commoncore for more information.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheryl Harness is the author and\/or illustrator of some 35 books for children, including 7 picture book biographies for National Geographic.
