(3) K-3 Ordinary People Change the World series. Illustrated by Christopher Eliopoulos. These small-trim biographies use chatty first-person narration, cartoon art, and occasional comics-style frames to tell their subjects' stories. Einstein's contains a few funny moments, while Parks's does not underplay the injustices she lived through; both books include gentle moralizing: e.g., "Never stop asking 'Why?'" (Einstein) and "Stand for what's right" (Parks). Vintage photographs and a quote are appended to each book. Review covers these Ordinary People Change the World titles: I Am Albert Einstein and I Am Rosa Parks.
