About the Book

Author Tim O'Shei explores the life of a true human rights activist. Starting with his childhood, Carter maintained a strong belief in the civil rights of all Americans. Once called a man with "an open heart" by one of his voters, Carter used his diplomatic skills to broker a peace agreement between Egypt and Israel, known as the Camp David Accords. Though many historians have criticized Carter's presidency, he has since helped many nations find peaceful agreements to armed conflicts.

Review :
Jimmy Carter's life story presented specifically for the reader who has a report to write for school. The print story is a straightforward, complete one for the young reader and researcher. However, the reader can find much more information at the My Reports Web site. This is what the publisher hopes the young researcher will do; read the book and then connect to the links provided from the Web. With frequent color photographs and brief, easy-to-understand chapters and sentences, the author allows the young reader to get to know the public life of the former president. He briefly highlights the important events of Carter's presidency: the backlash from the Nixon pardon, daughter Amy's struggles with the spotlight, Roslyn's speech to Congress, the energy crisis, the difficult and demanding peace process in the Middle East, the capture of the American hostages in Iran, and their eventual release. He paints an admirable picture of Carter, hard-working and caring, someone who lives from his heart. He spares the young reader the infamous Playboy "lust in my heart" episode but tells much about Carter as an involved ex-president who is active with peace and justice causes. There is little new information here, just the bare facts that can be easily found in any resource about the presidents. Certain elementary-school assignments have been around forever and the presidential report is one of them. This series and the accompanying easy-to-navigate Web site will make this predictable assignment less daunting and a little more interesting for the writer. (index, chapter notes, annotated Web addresses, bibliography.) (Nonfiction. 7-12), Kirkus Reviews March 1, 2002
