I Am Series
BRAD MELTZER
This is a great series to introduce children to famous historical figures. It’s easy to read and is written in a relatable way with excellent illustrations. It also breaks down tougher concepts like racism, slavery, and prejudice. ‘I am Gandhi’ and ‘I am Martin Luther King Jr.’ are great ones to start with. Nature lovers will like the one on Jane Goodall. There’s a diverse range of people that these books cover, from Amelia Earheart and Neil Armstrong to Leonardo Da Vinci.
