Little People, Big Dreams: Treasury 50 Stories from Brilliant Dreamers

This book provides a short insight into the lives of 50 extraordinary women and men, starting with writer Mary Shelley (born 225 years ago) and ending with activist Greta Thunberg. For each of the "brilliant dreamers" there is a short biographical essay, a portrait and a timeline with the most important events in their lives. Of course this includes only the most basic facts, but it is a very good starting point for children to get familiar with some very important people of the last centuries.
