I Am Rosa Parks

Ordinary People Can Change the World and that is what Brad Meltzer and Christopher Eliopoulos are setting out to do by choosing 100 of the most influential people in human history to tell their stories.  While these books were made for children, every single person should read them because you can learn that each hero wasn’t born a hero.  They were just ordinary people like you and me.  In Rosa Parks story, we see the world she lived in until one day she decided enough was enough and took a stand (or a seat, in this case).  This is the story you share with the world.  All of us can be heroes.
