Excerpt: James Matthew Dillon (16 September 1902 10 February 1986) was an Irish politician and leader of Fine Gael from 1959 to 1965. James M. Dillon was born in Dublin. He was the son of John Dillon, the last leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party (1918), which had been swept away by Sinn Féin in the 1918 general election. He was educated at Mount St. Benedict's, in Gorey, County Wexford, University College Galway and King's Inns. He qualified as a barrister and was called to the bar in 1931. Dillon studied business methods at Selfridge's in London. After some time at Marshall Fields in Chicago he returned to Ireland where he became manager of the family business known as Monica Duff's in Ballaghaderreen, County Roscommon. Between 1932 and 1937 Dillon served as TD for Donegal West for the Centre Party and after its merger with Cumann na nGaedhael, the new party Fine Gael. Dillon played a key role in instigating the creation of Fine Gael and would become a key member of the party in later years. He remained as TD for Monaghan from 1937 to 1969. Dillon became deputy leader of Fine Gael under W. T. Cosgrave. He resigned from Fine Gael in 1942 over their stance on Irish neutrality during World War II, when he urged the government to abandon neutrality and side with the Allies. He was the only TD to do so. In the first inter-party government (1948 - 1951) Dillon was appointed Minister for Agriculture as an Independent TD. As Minister, Dillon was responsible for huge improvements in Irish agric...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=263484 ... Read more

Our Children Can Soar
Many African American children might not know that president being African American is a big deal.In other words, they do not know that African Americans had to sacrifice so that he could reach this achievement. However, Our Children Can Soar provides young people with a historical overview that can be beneficial to their understanding of the historic figures that allowed Barrack Obama to become president, the book gives a brief biography of each person featured in the book, therefore, it teaches children to respect the past and honor the present.

A Wonderful Book
This is a beautiful book! It is a quick read and has gorgeous pictures. The time line, biographical information and connections between historical people to those of the present are excellent for such a short book. I saw it at our Scholastic Book Fair and had to have a copy. Unfortunately, there were only a few copies and they sold out! I was so happy to find this wonderful book on Amazon!

This is a phenomenal book about some of the greatest pathmakers in American history!

A soldier proudly stood ready to defend his family and envisioned those unfortunates who tried to escape with their families through swamps in an effort to evade being caught by a brutal slave catcher.This young soldier paved the way for the likes of George Washington Carver so he could revitalize southern agricultural crops.In turn, George paved the way so Jesse Owens could fly like the wind and make his people proud.Next Hattie McDaniel would hold her head up high and raise an Oscar in her hand.She was a winner!

Ella Fitzgerald would sing from her heart and soul and pave the way for Jackie Robinson who would effortlessly glide into home plate.Rosa Parks, one of America's most precious treasures, did nothing but sit.It was an unsurpassed act of courage, seldom seen before or after.Ruby Bridges learned to be brave from those who came before her and marched up those school steps and endured countless jeers and threats.And then came Martin Luther King, Jr., Thurgood Marshall and Barack Obama.And so it is now said that "Rosa sat so Martin could march.Martin marched so Barack could run.Barack ran so our children can soar!"Watch out ... here they come!

I loved this story.The text uses a "minimalist" approach with few words, but joined with the art work provides a very powerful message to all people.In the back of the book there are brief portrayals of all the people in the book, short notes on the professional lives of theillustrators and a quotation as to how they feel about the person they so beautifully captured in this book.Everyone has a purpose in life and, as illustrated in this book, unknowingly can pave the path for someone else to succeed.

Great book for young children
I bought this book for my son's fourth birthday.The illustrations are fantastic.I love the connection between history (Jesse Owens, George Washington Carver, Rosa Parks) and the future of our children.It includes a biography of each person mentioned in the book. ... Read more
