Great book for elementary school projects!
By MauiSurfGirl
My 10 year old was doing research on a famous Californian for their 4th grade California history project. He chose George Lucas and this book helped him with all the facts and history about him. It's paperback with some illustrations. Easy to read. My son was able to give a 3 minute speech about George Lucas in front of his entire class a room full of parents!
