HOLIDAYS & HEROES brings to life the people whose holidays we celebrate. Enriched with colorful illustrations, photographs, and other historical images, this series will engage and involve children in the stories behind our holidays and the people they honor.

Everyone loves celebrating Labor Day weekend—it’s the “last hurrah” of summer, with parades and picnics and fun. But on the first Monday of September, we remember the true meaning of the holiday: to celebrate and honor all the workers in our American labor force, especially those who fight for safe work places and fair pay.
Barbara deRubertis recently retired after 31 years of teaching elementary and middle school classes. She has written more than 50 books for children that have been published by Kane Press. Barbara and her husband live in Cashmere, Washington. View titles by Barbara deRubertis
