Story
All of the heroes inside Bedtime Inspirational Stories for Kids were challenged in ways that make most normal humans quiver and shake. Whether physically, spiritually, or emotionally, these men and women were challenged to their very limits and found the strength to persevere and become the best versions of themselves they could ever hope to be, for the good of all. Some were born slaves and spent the rest of their lives fighting the institution. Others were born in poverty and rose out of their circumstances to scale incredible heights.
