ICYMI: An Ordinary People Change the World-Inspired TV Series, Now on PBS!

Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum, inspired by the book series Ordinary People Change the World, is one of the newest offerings on PBS. 

(What's that?  Did someone say DISPLAY OPPORTUNITY?!)

The series tells the ongoing story of three children who, with the help of historical heroes, learn to overcome problems and discover that the power to be a hero--whether on a grand scale or a smaller one--resides in all of us. 

"Xavier Riddle fits that concept into an encompassing story with recurring characters. In each episode, Xavier, his sister Yadina, and their friend Brad encounter some sort of problem. To resolve their issue, they visit a secret museum, where a robot curator named Berby sends them back in time to meet a historical figure whose example will help them with their problem."

"The goal of the series is for kids to understand that they have the power within themselves to be heroes,” Eliopoulos says. “We all have these qualities that these historical figures had. They just use those qualities at the right moment. And that’s why we have them as kids. They’re not grand statues. Abraham Lincoln was once a kid who probably did the same things kids today do: he probably skipped rocks in a pond, just like you. So we’re hoping that kids can relate to these heroes and see that that’s inside them, too."

Who Was? Series to Hit Netflix

I hope you're ready, fans of the Who Was? book series...because there's a new show hitting Netflix this month based on the bestselling biographies!

According to the Netflix website: "Fresh voices bring some of the most famous names in history to life. A live-action sketch comedy show based on the series of best-selling books."  

From the looks of the trailer, viewers should be ready for some high-energy, goofy fun.  (And with guest stars like Ellie Kemper and H. Jon Benjamin, I'm guessing they'll have no trouble delivering on that promise.)

The books are already pretty popular, but maybe we'll be seeing a spike in the circulation numbers after the new show debuts?  Only time will tell...
