About the Book

Picture
Title: I Am Lucille Ball (Ordinary People Change the World)
Author: Brad Meltzer
Illustrator: Christopher Eliopoulos
Genre: Children's Picture Book
Number of Pages: 40
Synopsis: “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 book 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 book 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.

Remembering Lucille Ball in and around Hollywood, CA

We wanted to learn more about Lucille Ball and since we live in Southern California we decided what better way then to explore many of the places she'd been and the tributes that serve as a remembrance of this wildly funny and extremely talented American icon. Here are a few pictures of place you can visit.  Enjoy!
