I liked Eleanor Everywhere because it taught me that we should try to do what we think we can't do. She gave much of her life in comforting and serving others. I really, really, really totally liked it. .

This book gave a very detailed explanation of the life of Eleanor Roosevelt. I thought the book was wonderful and filled with many details of her life and childhood and really celebrated her for all the accomplishments.
This book could easily co-inside with a study on FDR and the Great Depression and WWII or "What Makes A Hero?" study.
