I Am George Washington/I Am Susan B. Anthony
xavier riddle and the secret museum

I am George Washington Yadina is excited when she's chosen to be the leader of her Nature Troop, thinking this a great first step toward becoming President one day. Only problem is, she isn't entirely sure how to be a good leader. To the Secret Museum! Our heroes are sent back in time to meet one of the greatest leaders in the history of the United States: George Washington. Yadina is awe struck as she gets to meet her country's very first president, who offers to take them on a fishing trip. As he leads them through the woods to the fishing hole, George is polite, helpful, and supportive, showing Yadina that a good leader takes care of his or her team. I am Susan B. Anthony Xavier and Yadina are putting artifacts away on the shelves of the Secret Museum, deciding between the two of them where everything should go, and unintentionally leaving Brad out. To the Secret Museum! Our heroes are sent back in time to meet someone who always stood up for the rights of all people: Susan B. Anthony. Watching the young Susan advocate for all of her siblings to have a vote in what to name their new baby goat, and then for all women everywhere to have a vote over matters that affect their country, helps Xavier and Yadina to realize how important it is for Brad to have a say over what happens in the Secret Museum. Because everyone should have a vote.

About Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum:

Inspired by the best-selling kids book series, Ordinary People Change the World, by New York Times bestselling author Brad Meltzer and illustrator Christopher Eliopoulos, XAVIER RIDDLE AND THE SECRET MUSEUM follows the adventures of Xavier, Yadina and Brad as they tackle everyday problems by doing something extraordinary: traveling back in time to learn from real-life inspirational figures like Marie Curie, Harriet Tubman and Jackie Robinson when they were kids.

Each adventure will help young viewers make the connection between the skills that made these historical figures heroes and those same qualities within themselves, helping them discover that they, too, can change the world.
