Best-selling history writer Brad Meltzer says he was inspired to tell Henson's story not because of The Muppets or Sesame Street, but because of Henson's tenacity. Meltzer's book, I Am Jim Henson, is the latest edition of his biography series for kids, Ordinary People Change the World. For the Spiel, Oscars so contrite.
