I am Amelia Earhart (Ordinary People Change World)
by Brad Meltzer<i>We can all be heroes. </i>That’s the inspiring message of this lively, collectible picture book biography series from New York Times bestselling author Brad Meltzer.<p><p> “Kids 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.
