Points of Light : A Celebration of the American Spirit of Giving

More than 100 million Americans volunteer their time, talent, and energy to help individuals, solve social problems and build strong communities.

These volunteers, ages 5 to 95, share the common goal of making a difference.

They are America's Points of Light: ordinary people who have shaped our country's character.

Together they constitute an extraordinary beacon that has made America a source of hope for the world.This beautifully illustrated book celebrates America's culture of caring with portraits that include some winners of the Daily Points of Light Award.

Readers will be moved by the abundant rewards of giving and be motivated to let their own lights shine
