I have every one so far in my classroom library, just purchased "I Am Helen Keller" and am eagerly anticipating "I Am Martin Luther King, Jr." I would review each one individually if I had the time. There's not much to be said that other reviewers haven't covered but these are absolutely fantastic biographies for young readers. As a Kindergarten teacher, as high a priority as superheroes, princesses, and other fantasy characters are in their lives, my students are always fascinated by stories about real people in history and amazed that these people actually lived, did very real and very important things, and were kids once, too. What I love, other than the appealing and detailed illustrations, is how perfectly the author handles the often "difficult to explain to a five year old" topics that made the subjects of the books noteworthy. It's so hard to find biographies for early elementary kids that don't water down historical information but still present it in a very age-appropriate way like these do. Young children can and should learn about racism, slavery, prejudices, life challenges, and other tough topics and it can definitely done in a way they understand. Beyond that, the recurring message is that otherwise normal people with lives, families, and circumstances similar to their own can do amazing things and change the world for the better. That's not only incredibly powerful for them, it's something that they take away from the stories without it even having to be explained. Just as a recent example, I currently have a student who is enthralled with all things science and is dead-set on being a scientist when he grows up. By chance, he picked out the book on Albert Einstein, we read it together, and he beamed when he found out who Einstein actually was and learned what led him to become a scientist. It's also incredibly interesting to read anecdotes and facts about the childhoods of these famous historical figures get an otherwise rare glimpse at what they were like growing up. Each time I read one to my class, I learn a number of things I've never heard before. I'm excited to see that Meltzer is continuing to regularly add to the series and will purchase any others that he puts out. They're all great but, in addition to Lincoln, we also particularly enjoy Rosa Parks and Jackie Robinson. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book! *by W***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 6, 2022* Our son (about to turn 8) LOVES the “I am” books. This one did not disappoint. These books tell the stories of amazing people in kid-friendly ways, but while staying true to the tough subjects they cover. Well done!He can read them himself, but mostly a grown up reads the main text and he reads the “bubbles”. ### ⭐⭐ Focus off and some facts wrong *by E***C on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 27, 2022* So it’s cute and all but it spends way too much time focusing on Abraham Lincoln‘s time prior to him being president as opposed to all of the tremendous actions he took as president. Additionally there’s some weird focus on him being on the penny, which kids aren’t really going to get and which just serves as a distraction from any real focus. There are also some misleading parts and even some straight up errors. So one aspect that’s misleading is when Lincoln talks about becoming president and then says he lost four elections before getting the big job. None of these were presidential elections but that is fully what’s implied. On the very next page it is characterizes the actual goal of the north in the war, and of Lincoln himself, as being “letting the slaves go free”. Time and time again Lincoln made sure of the fact that the goal of the war was to preserve the union and that the emancipation proclamation freeing slaves in rebel states was simply a war measure to preserve the union. When it discusses his Gettysburg address, it implies that the words all men are created equal came from him. As it states they are the most important five words he used. However, he was quoting the declaration of independence. Then on the next page it says that he passed a law that ended slavery in America. An amendment is not a law. And also, as hugely involved as Lincoln was in pushing for the passage of the 13th amendment, a president actually has no impact on an amendment passage whatsoever (2/3 of each house + 3/4 states). We have the doctor Martin Luther King, Jr., book and it is fantastic. I’m a history teacher and this book did not meet my expectations at all about my favorite president and one about whom I know very much including lesser-known intricacies. As a HS history teacher I also have to unteach mischaracterizations that kids are given when they were young. And this book is chock-full of them. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/47026431-i-am-gandhi-ordinary-people-change-the-world](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/47026431-i-am-gandhi-ordinary-people-change-the-world) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
