Sharon McMahon's New Children's Book Highlights Lesser-Known American Heroes
Sharon McMahon, an award-winning educator and bestselling author known as 'America’s Government Teacher,' is set to release her debut children's book, 'We Are Mighty.' The book, illustrated by Susanna Chapman, is timed to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. It introduces young readers to 12 ordinary Americans who have made significant contributions to the nation through acts of courage and civic engagement. McMahon's work focuses on lesser-known historical figures, aiming to make their stories relatable and inspiring for children, parents, and educators. She believes that these figures, often overlooked due to their socioeconomic status or gender, offer valuable lessons in civic responsibility and community betterment.
