I Am Amelia Earhart

(3) K-3 Ordinary People Change the World series. Illustrated by Christopher Eliopoulos. In these chatty, first-person-narrated biographies, entertainment value trumps historical rigor: Earhart says, "That was AWESOME!"; young Lincoln declares, "I'm gonna be on the penny someday"; and both subjects are depicted as children even after they become adults. The cartoony digital illustrations recall Calvin and Hobbes comics. Each small-trim book ends with words of wisdom from its subject and vintage images. Review covers these Ordinary People Change the World titles: I Am Abraham Lincoln and I Am Amelia Earhart.
