Loosely divided into groups by year of birth, there are mini bios of people who made a difference in their time as well as now and beyond. Beginning with Mary Shelley and Ada Lovelace and moving right along to Malala Yousafzai and Greta Thunberg, each one presents a brief overview of the life and followed by a graphic timeline of accomplishments. There are dreamers of every color and many nationalities presented for opportunities to learn and grow.
This is a compilation of stories for adults to read with children and for ESL to polish their English and learn about people who have shaped their world. The whole ends with a glossary and index. (as well as credits)
The illustrations that are mostly simple and forthright as created by Lisbeth Kaiser.
