Children's Literature
From the "Football Heroes Making a Difference" series, this biography of Brett Favre, an NFL great, provides a look into what makes him one of the most successful professional football players both on and off the field. From his time as an Atlantic Falcon's rookie to his sixteen-year career with the Green Bay Packers, Favre has shown himself to be a dedicated athlete. As a starter for 275 straight games, he set himself up to be a winner and on his retirement in 2008 he left a legacy of "mosts" which include the "most wins as starting quarterback—160, the most touchdown passes—442, and the most passing yards—61,655." Favre has proven himself off the field as well by establishing the Brett Favre Fourward Foundation. This foundation "focuses on helping disadvantaged or disabled children in Wisconsin and Mississippi." Favre is also generous in giving to other causes that provide assistance where needed. A glossary, bibliography, and an index make this book easy to use. Photographs help create the excitement of Favre's life as told in this well-written biography of this football great.
