“Kids always search for heroes, so we might as well have a say in it,” Brad Meltzer realized, and so he envisioned this friendly, fun approach to biography – for his own kids, and for yours. Each picture book in this series is a biography of a significant historical figure, told in a simple, conversational, vivacious way, and always focusing on a character trait that makes the person a role model for kids. The heroes are depicted as children throughout, telling their life stories in first-person present tense, which keeps the books playful and accessible to young children. And each book ends with a line of encouragement, a direct quote, photos, a timeline, and a source list. 

《普通人改变世界》共有10册书，分别是十位名人的传记，他们是：阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦、阿梅莉亚·埃尔哈特、乔治·华盛顿、亚伯拉罕·林肯、露西尔·鲍尔、杰基·罗宾森、罗莎·帕克斯、马丁·路德·金、海伦·凯勒和珍妮·古道尔。英雄也是普通人。英雄是怎样炼成的？布拉德·梅尔泽和克里斯托弗·埃利奥普洛斯创作的这些传记用生动有趣的方式告诉你答案。插画结合了漫画风，极易引起孩子的阅读兴趣；故事以第一人称叙述，孩子似与这些英雄对话，阅读起来更轻松；漫画结合真实照片，兼顾趣味性和真实性。
