    About I am Lucille Ball

    In this sixth entry in the New York Time Bestselling biography series, humor is the heroic trait, and modern icon Lucille Ball is celebrated.

    Lucille Ball could make any situation funny. By making people around the world laugh, she proved that humor can take on anything. She never changed how she behaved to seem “proper,” even when other people pressured her to. By remaining true to who she was, she made her mark in comedy and television—even becoming the first female CEO of a major Hollywood studio! 

    This friendly, fun biography series inspired the PBS Kids TV show Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum. One great role model at a time, these books encourage kids to dream big. Included in each book are:

       • A timeline of key events in the hero’s history
       • Photos that bring the story more fully to life
       • Comic-book-style illustrations that are irresistibly adorable
       • Childhood moments that influenced the hero
       • Facts that make great conversation-starters
       • A virtue this person embodies: Lucille Ball’s humor and how it carried her to success is highlighted here.

    You’ll want to collect each book in this dynamic, informative series!

    About I am Lucille Ball

    “We can all be heroes” is the message of this biography series from #1 New York Times Bestselling author Brad Meltzer.

    “Kids always search for heroes, so we might as well have a say in it,” Brad Meltzer realized, and so he envisioned this friendly, fun approach to biography—for his own kids, and for yours. Each entry tells the story of one of America’s icons in a vivacious, conversational way that works well for the youngest nonfiction readers, those who aren’t quite ready for the Who Was biography series. Each focuses on a particular character trait that made that role model heroic. For example, Lucille Ball could make any situation funny. By making people around the world laugh, she proved that humor can take on anything.

    This engaging series is the perfect way to bring American history to life for young children, providing them with the right role models, supplementing Common Core learning in the classroom, and best of all, inspiring them to strive and dream.
