"A series dedicated to men and women who have shown courage in
their convictions. Each volume introduces 28 such individuals, who
represent a mix of ages, nationalities, and areas of influence.
Eight additional short profiles can be found in the back matter of
each volume and offer a few more examples. Scientists, sports
stars, activists, and artists each have a one-page profile and an
accompanying full-page portrait. The entries describe any lasting
legacies, such as foundations, initiatives, or charities begun by
or named after the individuals. The portraits are stylized
representations taken from photos or other recognizable images. The
authors include negative facts along with the positive
accomplishments."
--School Library Journal
"Exceptionally informative and impressively enhanced for young
readers with bold color schemes and a stylized photographs or
illustrations, "Unsung Heroes" is especially recommended for
elementary school and community library biography collections for
children. Also very highly recommended by the writing team of Toby
Reynolds & Paul Calver is their companion volume: "Fearless Women:
Courageous Females who Refused to be Denied.""
--The Midwest Book Review
"This is an important series about people who contributed to
humanity and changed the course of many lives. Each volume portrays
the courage and conviction of people who may not be well known but
who achieved their goals and altered the world against all
odds."
--School Library Connection (SLC)
