I wish this book had been available when our kids were small. Edwards has been massively influential in my life. This book would have stirred up lots of good questions to talk about. For example, can we have heroes who made mistakes? I’m glad David Mathis and Lee Dixon teamed up to make Edwards’ story available for children.
