Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum - Gr 1-3 Social Studies
I am Lou Gehrig
Xavier, Yadina and Brad are all wallowing in self-pity after suffering a few minor mis-haps and being stuck inside all day. Feeling like they need help to turn around this worst-day-ever, they head... to the Secret Museum! Our heroes are sent back in time to meet someone truly extraordinary: Lou Gehrig. When we meet Lou, he's playing base-ball in a tiny park with nothing but a broom handle and a backwards glove, but he's still grinning ear to ear over how lucky he is to be able to play. Lou's upbeat spirit carries him through more hardships, until the day he gets sick and has to retire from the game he loves so much, showing our trio that instead of wallowing in the bad, it's always better to focus on the good stuff.
