42、0 years ago, about 1% of human history, people learned to farm the land.The kind of food we eat depends on which part of the world we live in, or which part of our country we live in.

My publisher shut down, an

48、d we had no idea if another publisher would take over my novel. In addition, my second novel hadnt sold as well as the first one. It seemed that I was watching my career going downwards. It was so terrifying. However, as I shared my fears with my mother, she said something I would never forget: “I w

49、ould love you if you were a garbage man.” She wasnt looking down upon garbage men. She was just saying that whatever my job was, she loved me. It was just her honest feeling at that moment, but those simple words are still the ones I use to fight so many of my fears today. To this day, when I sit do

50、wn to write every day, I say those words to myself, “Id love you if you were a garbage man.” I can still feel the selflessness of my mothers love. A few years ago, my mother passed away because of breast cancer. It was she who set me on the path of writing a series of childrens books to give strengt

51、h to my own children. The first two are Im Amelia Earhart and Im Abraham Lincoln. In six months, well publish Im Rosa Parks. For me, this isnt just a book series.

52、was born also because I was tired of my daughter thinking that reality TV stars were heroes. I tell my kids all the time: Thats fame (名气). Fame is different from being a hero. I wanted my kids to see real heroes who are no different than themselves. For this reason, each book tells the story of the

53、hero when he/she was a kid. We see them as children. So its not just Amelia Earhart andAbraham Lincoln being famous; its them being just like us. Look around. We live in a world that desires heroes. Our solution is what my mother taught me with her words: the power of an ordinary person. I can proudly repeat my mothers words to my kids. Theyll understand how I love them.1The author felt terrified because .Ahe was e
