Interesting and inspiring. The essays I read were easy to read and share with children. Some of the people included in the book were unknown to them so it was good to introduce other role models to them. Thanks for the ARC.

A fun & quick read. I really liked the fact that the authors give you some links and books to read if you're interested in the person you're reading about.

The 'nonfiction minutes' were an interesting way to display the information about each person. Well written and my students liked learning more about important people (some of whom they hadn't heard of).
