Raves and Reviews
"The diversity in passions is matched by the diversity in geography, time period, and race; several had or have disabilities. Readers will discover contemporaries (Greta Thunberg and Marley Dias) as well as young people who made an impact long ago (Pocahontas and Blaise Pascal). The language throughout is straightforward, and analogies and explanations are written with an age-appropriate tone....Enjoyable and educational."
– Kirkus Reviews, December 2020
"An inspiring compilation of young artists, activists, innovators, inventors, and changemakers."
– School Library Journal, March 2021
