Who Am I? Series

You watch their TV shows and play their games. You copy their costumes and recite their catchphrases. They’re faces you know and love. But who is behind the world’s most popular characters? Who first had the ideas that brought them to life? Titles in the Who Am I? series introduce six famous creators or creator duos: Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster: We Created Superman, Ruth Handler: I Created Barbie, Satoshi Tajiri: I Created Pokémon, Shigeru Miyamoto: I Created Mario, Stan Lee & Steve Ditko: We Created Spider-Man, and Stephen Hillenburg: I Created SpongeBob SquarePants. These fascinating biographies tell the life story of each creative genius, reveal what inspired them, and follow the rise to fame for each iconic creation. A special section, Be a Creator, challenges kids to take their own ideas to the next level. Engaging text, full-color photographs, and fun facts help young readers explore the high-interest topics. Books include tips for parents and caregivers, a glossary, a reading comprehension quiz, suggestions for further reading, and an index.
