Nelson, S.D. Quiet Hero: The Ira Hayes Story. Illustrated by the author. Lee & Low Books: 2006. Ages 7 and up.
Nelson's Quiet Hero is the story of the humble Pima Indian who raised the second flag at Iwo Jima. This flag raising was turned into an award winning photograph, which guided construction of the Iwo Jima Memorial. Nelson's writing is very informative, with his information and facts suiting the illustration of the page. The phenominal illustrations with a "cracked" look draws you into the aged time period. The drawings are extremely detailed. Quiet Hero is a great recollection of Ira Haye's life given in an interesting and informative format.
