About this listen

Adapted from the New York Times' acclaimed "Overlooked" column, this collection of ten true stories about dreamers and doers, from scientists to stuntwomen, celebrates larger-than-life heroes who have gone unappreciated--until now!

What do a high-flying stuntwoman, a radio astronomer, a music producer, and a woman who went over Niagara Falls in a barrel have in common? They all wowed the people in their lives with their accomplishments--but none were commemorated with obituaries in the paper of record.
The New York Times "Overlooked" column memorializes people whose contributions were not deemed notable at the time due to their identity. This gorgeous picture book features ten profiles of people who were larger than life, and whose awe-inspiring achievements are finally being celebrated.
