I am really impressed with this book. It is an anthology of 22 well-known historical figures. It is geared toward children. It is not incredibly deep but points out the accomplishments that would be impressive for kids. In addition to hearing/reading the content, there is a spot at the end of each chapter for the reader to share what they just heard with a friend/student or, if one is alone, out loud to himself. It is a great way of learning and reiterating information.

Adam Gold is perfect for narrating this book. He makes the history come alive and is very engaging. 5 stars

I WILL be watching for Difference Makers Volume 2

I enjoyed listening to these short bios of great people.We all need to learn from history. The common denominators of these people are good character, determination, and selflessness. We can all benefit from their lives. This book is not only good for young people, but for everyone who want to be inspired to leave a legacy after he is gone! I also liked the prompt at the end of each biography to try to remember what we just listened. Great! Please keep writing books like this one so I can give them to my grandchildren!

The narration by Adam Gold was absolutely wonderful! He has a clear voice, was engaging and made it fun to listen.

I receive this audiobook free for my honest opinion. Thank you!
