David Bowie book

This gorgeously illustrated hardback picture book is a fantastic way to acquaint young readers with David Bowie. A great role model for little ones. At the back of this book there is a facts and photo section to support the story told (great for parents and older children hungry for a few more details). Recommended for children 5 - 8 years. 

This delightful series (Little People, Big Dreams) introduces young readers to outstanding people, from designers and artists to scientists. All of them achieved incredible things, yet each began life as a child with a dream. Also in this series - Maya Angelou and Coco Chanel. 

Written by Isabel Sanchez Vegara and illustrated by Gee Fan Eng. 

A family-run business based out of Edinburgh, Bookspeed makes all kinds of books for all kinds of people. But what we love is its collection of richly illustrated books to inspire kids (and grown-ups who like to dream). The Little People, Big Dreams series, in particular, pores over the lives of extraordinary people, from Maya Angelou and Marie Curie to Frida Kahlo, and tells the stories of their extraordinary childhoods.
