I am Amelia Earhart (Ordinary People Change the World)

We can all be heroes. That€s the inspiring message of this lively, collectible picture book biography series from New York Times bestselling author Brad Meltzer.
 
€œKids always search for heroes, so we might as well have a say in it,€ Brad Meltzer realized, and so he envisioned this friendly, fun approach to biography €“ for his own kids, and for yours. Each book tells the story of one of America€s icons in an entertaining, conversational way that works well for the youngest nonfiction readers, those who aren€t quite ready for the Who Was series. Each book focuses on a particular character trait that made that role model heroic. For example, Amelia Earhart refused to accept no for an answer; she dared to do what no one had ever done before, and became the first woman to fly a plane all the way across the Atlantic Ocean. This book follows her from childhood to her first flying lessons and onward to her multi-record-breaking career as a pilot.
 
This engaging series is the perfect way to bring American history to life for young children, and to inspire them to strive and dream.
