The New York Times bestselling Ordinary People Change the World series  welcomes the 21st and 22nd additions to the collection this fall: I AM ANNE FRANK and I AM BENJAMIN FRANKLIN. The inception for this series, now with more than 3.5 million copies in print, came from a personal place for Brad Meltzer: he wanted to give his own children heroes of character, kindness, and compassion \\u2013 he did not want his children to emulate someone simply \\u201cfamous for being famous\\u201d on social media. From his love of history, Brad knew there were better heroes for his children to look up to, and he decided to write about them.
