Hello ,

We’ve often wondered what famous historic figures were like when they were kids. That’s why we were excited when we had a chance to talk with the main cast of Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum, PBS Kids’ animated hit series based on the best-selling books Ordinary People Change the World by Brad Meltzer and Chris Eliopoulos. In this adventure-comedy, kids get to follow along with Xavier, his little sister Yadina and best friend Brad as they travel through time to meet famous heroes of the past and learn how to be their own heroes!

Here are some snippets of what they told us:

KIDDIE ACADEMY: How do you decide who to visit?

XAVIER: Actually, we don’t decide, the Secret Museum does! Here is how it works, whenever we have a problem that needs solving, we head to the Secret Museum! And then, the Secret Museum sends us back in time to meet an AH-MAZING hero from the past, who helps teach us a lesson on how to solve the problem at hand. For example, when I was having trouble getting better at playing my recorder for a really big performance at school, the Secret Museum sent us back in time to meet Johann Sebastian Bach, who taught us that if you want to get better at something, you have to work hard and practice!

KA: Who is the favorite hero you’ve met?

BRAD: We could never choose just one. Every hero we meet has something amazing to teach us! For example, Marie Curie, a brilliant physicist and chemist, taught us to follow our dreams, no matter what. The honorable Thurgood Marshall showed us it was important to be fair to everyone. Writer Mark Twain reminded us that laughter can make hard things easier. And activist Rosa Parks taught us that everyone should be treated equally. And pilot Amelia Earhart told us all to go for it.
