Deeply influential cultural icon Oprah Winfrey is the twenty-fifth hero in this New York Times bestselling picture book biography series.
This friendly, fun biography series focuses on the traits that made our heroes great—the traits that kids can aspire to in order to live heroically themselves. Each book tells the story of an icon in a lively, conversational way that works well for the youngest nonfiction readers and that always includes the hero's childhood influences. At the back are an excellent timeline and photos. This book features critically acclaimed talk show host Oprah Winfrey, who used her struggles in childhood as motivation to become "Queen of All Media."
This friendly, fun biography series inspired the PBS Kids TV show Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum. One great role model at a time, these books encourage kids to dream big.
Included in each book are:   
 • A timeline of key events in the hero’s history   
 • Photos that bring the story more fully to life  
 • Comic-book-style illustrations that are irresistibly adorable  
 • Childhood moments that influenced the hero   
 • Facts that make great conversation-starters  
 • A virtue this person embodies: Oprah Winfrey's authenticity shines in this.
You’ll want to collect each book in this dynamic, informative series!

      Grades 1-3 The two latest additions to the expansive Ordinary People Change the World series (2 new titles) maintain the high standards previously set, delivering accessible, informative biographies to early readers. I Am Oprah Winfrey follows the same winning formula, tracking the talk-show host (and much more) from her humble roots to superstardom, always with the reminder that success is a process that requires resilience and hard work. Eliopoulous' colorful cartoons alternate between full-bleed, spot, and paneled illustrations, with text set in paragraphs, captions, as well as word bubbles for dialogue (drawn from the subjects' actual words when possible). Combined with the author's knack for balancing scene and summary, information and art, dialogue and text, the result is a dynamic, beautifully paced presentation that is sure to draw any young reader in. Back matter includes additional facts, presented through word bubbles, along with a time line, sources, and further reading.
