“The kind of books that adults will covet and collect as well… The
language and structure is simple enough for young readers, while a
biographical timeline at the end of each book offers greater
historical complexity”
*Irish Times*
"A stylish book … a great stepping stone to non-fiction."
*The Guardian Family Review*
Best children’s books for spring - "Strikingly illustrated, they’re
superb first biographies for younger readers."
*The Huffington Post*
“Brilliantly accessible and inspiring”
*Rhino Reads*
“One children’s books series trying to fight back… by telling the
inspiring stories of women who overcame adversity and made history
by pursuing their childhood dreams.”
*Toronto Star*
"A QUIRKY kids biography series"
*The Voice*
'Sumptuously illustrated hardbacks, they take the life stories of
famous women in history and retell them in a child-friendly
way'
*Daily Mail*
‘The picture book biopic of Frida Kahlo in the very successful
Little People, Big Dreams series is very carefully judged. It
doesn’t sugarcoat Frida's injuries or her struggles with chronic
pain, nor does it indulge in triumph-over-adversity clichés, but
looks at her disability as part of who she is as a woman and an
artist. Frida is shown with a range of mobility aids, which is a
bonus.’
