This book makes an excellent easy reading companion to Russell Freedman's Eleanor Roosevelt. Writing and/or discussion themes include overcoming shyness; how children deal with differences; and the roles of family, environment, and experiences in shaping our personal value system. www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/eleanor www.hps.gov/elro personalweb.smcvt.edu/smahady/ercover.htm
