The Small and the Mighty by Sharon McMahon

Format & Condition: Hardback, Very Good
Genre: Other

Sharon McMahon introduces twelve often-overlooked Americans whose courage and determination helped change the country. Through stories spanning the nation’s founding to the civil rights movement, she shows how teachers, advocates, and ordinary citizens made extraordinary contributions without becoming household names.

A New York Times bestseller from the educator known as “America’s Government Teacher,” this accessible history celebrates the people working beyond the spotlight. I recommend it for its engaging storytelling, hopeful perspective, and reminder that meaningful change often begins with someone deciding to make a difference in their own community.
