This is a celebration of extraordinary individuals whose contributions have been left out of traditional accounts of history. While textbooks and obituaries have too often highlighted powerful, wealthy white men, this collection brings forward the women, people of color, LGBTQ+ pioneers, and people with disabilities whose courage, creativity, and curiosity transformed the world.
Through 18 riveting narratives, listeners will meet hidden heroes like Miki Gorman, the marathon champion who defied expectations; Sarah E. Ray, who challenged segregation years before Rosa Parks; Ralph Lazo, who voluntarily joined Japanese Americans at Manzanar to protest internment; and Regina Jonas, the world’s first woman rabbi—among many others. Written in vivid yet accessible prose, these powerful accounts invite young listeners to rethink whose voices belong in history and to imagine their own potential to make change.
This is a history book that resonates long after the final word.

Reseñas de la crítica
“[Overlooked] provides the foundation for this striking volume, in which the author chronicles lesser-known 19th- and 20th-century figures, some of whom achieved astonishing feats or proved indispensable in expanding civil rights. . . . By highlighting artists, athletes, engineers, performers, and more, this timely survey broadens the scope of whose voices and accomplishments matter beyond dominant, white male–centered narratives.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Lively writing (the first Niagara-in-a-barrel survivor was ‘tossed about like a sock in a washing machine’) will keep readers absorbed, as will the photos and sidebars. Well-deserved recognition for the unsung that also encourages persistence against the odds.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“This book collects the biographical information of some of the people featured in The New York Times’ Overlooked project, which spotlights obituaries from a more diverse range of influential people than are usually featured in the paper. . . . This fascinating collection for readers wanting to explore history beyond the classroom will very likely have appeal outside its target audience, given its presentation and wide-ranging subjects.”—Booklist
