But in school, Todd doesn't feel heroic. Reading is hard for him, and he gets scolded for asking too many questions. How will he ever become the kind of hero he admires? <p/> Featuring stunning illustrations that celebrate the diversity of the Little Free Library movement, here is the story of how its founder, Todd Bol, became a literacy superhero. Thanks to Todd and thousands of volunteers--many of whom are kids--millions of books have been enjoyed around the world. <p/> This creative movement inspires a love of reading, strengthens communities, and provides meeting places where new friendships, ideas--and heroes!--spring to life. <p/> Includes an author's note and bibliography.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<i>Little Libraries, Big Heroes </i>captures the magic of the Little Free Library movement and the power of a single person to make a difference.
