The "conservationist president," Teddy Roosevelt, is the 39th hero in this New York Times bestselling picture book biography series, for ages 5 to 9.

Teddy Roosevelt grew up with a great love of nature and a strong belief that we are all responsible for one another. When he became the governor of New York and eventually the 26th president of the United States, he devoted himself to protecting both the people in need and the great outdoors. One of our earliest environmentalists, he established the National Forest Service, five national parks and 150 national forests. His impact is felt to this day.
