As America's thirty-fifth president, he often took bold actions: establishing a peace corps and challenging Americans to land on the moon. But on civil rights, it took the urging and the example of other courageous people-leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Jackie Robinson, and even students and children-to help him realize that the time to act was NOW.

Er konnte trotz seiner kurzen Amtszeit die Weichen für bedeutende Errungenschaften stellen: Er gründete das Friedenscorps, trieb das Raumfahrtprogramm voran und setzte sich für die Bürgerrechte ein.

From an acclaimed author and a New York Times Best Illustrated artist comes the fascinating, little-known—and true!—story of New York City’s first subway. New York City in the 1860s was a mess: crowded, disgusting, filled with garbage. You see, way back in 1860, there were no subways, just cobblestone streets. That is, until Alfred Ely Beach had the idea for a fan-powered train that would travel underground. On February 26, 1870, after fifty-eight days of drilling and painting and plastering, Beach unveiled his masterpiece—and throngs of visitors took turns swooshing down the track. The Secret Subway will wow readers, just as Beach’s underground train wowed riders over a century ago. A New York Public Library Best Book for Kids, 2016
