Beyoncé (Little People, BIG DREAMS, 112)

Great book for kids. It breaks down the life of famous figures into easily understood biographic reels.

Part of great collection. Have many. Buy

Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara has written four children’s books that will be released in early 2024: Lenny Henry, Tenzing Norgay, Sally Ride, and Beyonce. These books are part of the bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS biography series for kids. Each book is 32 pages and beautifully illustrated. They are perfect for reading to small children during “quiet time”. Beyoncé Knowles was a quiet child but loved to sing and dance. After going to see a concert, she wanted to perform for others. She put on shows for customers in her mom's hair salon. After winning a local talent show, Beyoncé joined a new girl singing group, Girls Tyme. The band changed up members and names before becoming Destiny's Child, and they became stars due to their catchy songs and dance routines. Eventually Beyonce embarked on a solo career and has been nominated for more Grammy Awards than anyone else in history. She married musician Jay-Z and balances marriage, motherhood, and business.

Beyoncé by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara explores the life of this bright and beautiful personality. Her first ‘gig’ was singing for a captive audience at her mother's hair salon, where she occasionally earned tips. Not long after, Beyoncé became lead singer of a kid band called Girls Tyme. (Not gonna lie- that sounds very exploitative to me.) She grew through several bands before finally releasing her first solo work, and from there the rest is history! Beyoncé’s style has influenced genres of music and she is today one of the most awarded female singers. Notable accomplishments also include singing at Obama's inauguration and performing a Super Bowl halftime show. The entire Little People, Big Dreams series is an awesome introduction to biographical reading for young audiences. Not only that, but they focus on the most inspirational of people from science, entertainment, sports, politics and more. It’s also a very diverse series. At the end is a section with more detailed information on Beyoncé’s life, suitable for older readers. Inspirational and educational both, this entire series is great, and full of delightful art to engage younger audiences!

My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Why did I decide to turn the pages? I love this series. Most of the books are very informative, and I love the diverse representation in the series. So when I was given the chance to review it, I took it. My Overall Thoughts/Impressions: I loved the illustrations in this one and the theme about reaching for your dreams and working for them. The illustrations of Beyonce singing were particularly well done. It can be tricky to write books about people who are still alive, but I thought this did a good job hitting on the most important parts of Beyonce's life. I think fans will enjoy this one.

This series just keeps getting better and better and Beyoncé’s installment is truly a work of art! It starts with her young life as a musician and her journey to forming Destiny’s Child and then through her many transformations as an artist, breaking all the barrier’s and molds in not o let R&B/Hip Hop/Rap, but the music industry as a whole. The artwork is so vibrant and joyful and I will happily be adding the finished copy to my home library.

Rating 4.5 stars It's excellent reading for a kid, especially one who likes Beyonce's music and dance. It gives a mini background on Beyonce's love for music - singing and dancing. Little People, Big Dreams - Beyonce also has a good message for kids who admire her. My only issue with the book is that the illustrations could be of better quality. The image does not even compare to Beyonce. Read and reviewed on Netgalley.

A well-written and well-illustrated biography for children. Any fan will enjoy reading it with their young fan.

I bought a bunch of these books as I love the concept but turns out these books are very boring and not really fun for children! They just look nice on the bookshelf!

Love this series but always find it hard to find various titles in the main stores. Loved the fast shipping and quality of product.
