I Am Amelia Earhart

Brad Meltzer · first published 2014 · ISBN 9780803740822

The first book in the Ordinary People Change the World series offers an illustrated biography of the pioneering aviator told through narrative and drawings designed for young readers. The story centers on what made Earhart extraordinary: not just flying, but refusing to accept the limitations her era placed on women. It launched a publishing phenomenon that eventually grew to over thirty titles celebrating icons from Abraham Lincoln to Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
