I am Lucille Ball

We can all be heroes. That is the message of this biography series from number-one New York Times best-selling 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 amp;mdash; 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 listeners, those who aren¿t quite ready for the Who Was biography series. Each audiobook 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.
