I am Jim Henson
I am Jim Henson | Brad Meltzer
7 posts | 8 read | 9 to read
We can all be heroes. Thats the inspiring message of this New York Times bestselling picture book biography series from historian and author Brad Meltzer. This volume focuses on Jim Henson, the creator of the Muppets and Sesame Street. 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. Jim Henson, for example, was always dreaming up something new, and always expressing his belief in the goodness of people. Henson was a born performer with a terrific sense of humor, and he used those talents to help create two of the most beloved programs in television history: The Muppet Show and Sesame Street. Through his Muppets, Jim showed the world that theres nothing more beautiful than imagination, especially when its accompanied by laughter and kindness. Each book in this series tells the story of one inspiring individual through lively text and art that works well for the youngest nonfiction readers. At the back are an excellent timeline and photos. From the Hardcover edition.

#bookmail and a new bookcase that has to be moved into my bedroom when I get enough energy to undo all the work on the bookcase I installed last weekend so I can shift it. 😳

I can't remember who posted this, but I had to buy my own copy of this book even though I don't have kids. #blameitonLitsy The Muppet Show is the first TV show I remember watching as a child. Jim died way too young.

Couldn't not buy this little biography when I saw it at Barnes & Noble.

Couldn't read it to my son with dry eyes either.

These are just wonderful books. However, in this one I can tell, I'm pretty sure, Jim Henson is Metzler's hero. I have a special place in my heart for him too, so I loved this even more than the others! And really, couldn't we all learn something from Kermit's philosophy?

SuperPunkNinja Oh Kermie! 💚💚💚 8y

Just bought this one for my nephew and of course I had to read it first. Great book. I love all these "I Am" titles. They're so good and inspiring. Right now my nephew's favorite is Amelia Earhart.

Lmstraubie Oooooo! I need to add this to my library! 🐸 8y
