A beginner's biography of Mother Teresa -- what's not to love? The illustrations are sweet, with a mix of watercolor, crayon, and maybe markers. Very familiar and accessible to young children. The whole series is sweet and encouraging.

I love these little books. There are always great facts for kids and not too heavy for young readers.

“It doesn’t matter if you do big or small things in your life, as long as you do them with great love.”

Another great edition in the Little People, Big Dreams series. This focuses on Mother Teresa and her incredible life. The story is simple but good and there’s also a little section at the end with pictures and more facts about Mother Teresa. This entire series is amazing and if I had kids, I would definitely buy the entire series for them. Every book has a wonderful story, a positive message and adorable artwork. Different books in the series have different artists and that is really cool. The illustrations in this book were super cute and I especially loved how colourful they were.

I would definitely recommend these books and I can’t wait to read more of the series.

(General series review) These are fabulous stories about great women and men in history (for the most part). The illustrations are so amazing, both for kids and adults. There is a brief history on the person that explains how this person contributed to history and matters. Growing up, Mother Teresa was a big role model for me.

Another in this fantastic series teaching both kids and adults alike about the many amazing women out there, and that you should always be willing to chase your dreams.

This book series are concise and engaging. There is just the right amount of detail to help you get to know these remarkable people. True heroes of our time. This is another wonderful title. Recommended.

I have had the opportunity to read several of the books from the Little People, Big Dreams series. I am very excited about this series. It focuses on Moral Figures in our history and teaches it to the younger children in our lives on their level.And to top it off this series unlike many other actually focus on Women. I love how these books show young girls who read them that they can be and do anything they set their mind to.

This book is about Mother Teresa and all of the great things she done in her life and that are still being carried on after her death. I actually learned a few things about Mother Teresa from this book as well.

These are shirt books but are packed with a lot of information. At the back of the book there is also section of pictures from Mother Teresa's life. So the Children get to see real photo's of the person they read about.

I received this book from the Author or Publisher via Netgalley.com and chose to leave this review.

This is another brilliant addition to this series – even as an adult I look out for the next book in the series being released. I love the images in this series and this is a delightful introduction to Mother Teresa, her background and some of the amazing things she achieved during her life.

They are excellent introductions to some of the well-known, and less well-known, characters that have had a great impact in our lives through a variety of subjects such as literature, women’s rights and science.

5 stars from me for this one – a delightful read and one I will be highly recommending!!

Easy and fun way to learn about people in history. Great illistrations. Kids will love to learn by reading this book. Would recommend.

Mother Teresa was one of those figures that I never really knew much about. I mean, I knew that she worked with the poor in India, that she lived among them and had close contact with lepers. But that was it. This is a very shallow, simple biography of course, simple explanations and a few logical holes. Sill, I like this use of a real life example to express moral lessons to small children. Generosity and compassion are great concepts to instill in the very young. This series has the potential to provide small children with real, admirable heroes to model themselves after.

I am becoming quite fond of the Little People Big Dreams series as an excellent introduction for young children to important figures in history. This wonderful child friendly account of the life of Mother Teresa provides a great start to learning about a figure who I grew up hearing about on the news.

This style of writing is becoming quite familiar now, with a basic biography of Mothe Teresa with bright engaging illustrations followed by a photograph timeline with a few paragraphs more aimed at adults/older children.

This book would be a great start to researching a key figure from recent history, giving children the opportunity to carry out further research

Little People, Big Dreams is a series of nonfiction children’s books focused on famous women, past and present. Mother Teresa is the second I’ve read in this series and it is beautiful! As was the case in Jane Austen edition, the illustrations are beyond charming and the information is pitch perfect for young children. It is essentially a quick biography, explaining how a child named Agnes, born in Macedonia, came to be Mother Teresa, a nun whose work would lead to sainthood.

Naturally, I know who Mother Teresa is and the work she is known for, but really very little beyond that. This children’s mini-biography provided a more context to her life story than I previously had and piqued my interest to learn more. A book that educates and stokes curiosity is exactly the right kind of children’s book, if you ask me. And the illustrations in this addition were particularly vibrant making me love it all the more!

So far, this series of books is a big hit for me! Eagerly anticipating whatever comes next.

Great picture book for children with simple words for them to understand. I love this series and will be checkin other books.

I just loved reading this book to my kids. It does a great job of teaching about Mother Teresa's life for young listeners/readers.
5 Stars!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book, which I voluntarily chose to review.

New in the Little People, Big Dreams series, discover the incredible life of Mother Teresa. The text and illustrations show Agnes as a child brought up in the Roman Catholic faith in Macedonia. Her parents helped others and invited them into their home. When Agnes as 12 she had a calling, but her mother made her wait until she was 18 to become a nun. She changed her name and became Sister Teresa. She always wanted to go to India to help the people and that is where she ended up, as a celebrated heroine to the poor and sick on the streets of Calcutta. The author, Isabel Sanchez Vegara’s makes the point that everything she did and all the accolades she received were all done in the name of the poor. This is a child friendly biography that shows a young woman striving to achieve her dream of helping others and that whatever you do, you do it in the name of love. The back of the book has a brief timeline that is for older readers. This book could be used to teach young children how to write a biography, show that it big or small, you can still make a difference in the lives of others. A good book for a school library. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book to read via netgalley. The rating, opinions and ideas stated are my own.

Thank you Quatro Publishing and Net Galley for the free review copy. I love biographies for children, and this series by Isabel Sanchez Vegara is great. Mother Teresa's story is presented in a clear way for young readers. I love that the story starts with Mother Teresa as a young girl because it's relatable for kids. I think these are great books for kids who have an interest in nonfiction. I would definitely recommend this book.

What an adorable book to introduce kiddos to the life of service that was Saint Mother Teresa's! The illustrations in the book are colorful and I could see how they would maintain the attention of the child listening. The story is directly told (trying to tell her entire life story in read-aloud form must have been tough) and weaves some phrases from her most famous quotes ("do them with great love").

The book doesn't mention Jesus or her love for Him through the poor. I recognize it's a non-religious book, but that was her purpose. I also might have chose a serif font (so so picky, I know. That doesn't play a role in my rating.) so that early readers could start identifying the letters and sight words used in the text.

The book did a fine job of showing her loving nature. I am not sure how to do this with a children's book, but this woman was also an extremely strong woman. The meekness of her definitely comes across, but I'm not sure the strength is obvious and that's one of the important balances of being a saint.

The Little People Big Dreams series take a look at the lives of notable women throughout history. They start out in childhood, making them an excellent read for young children. In this addition to the series, readers are introduced to Mother Teresa. Mother Teresa lived a very long life, and it isn't well suited to being compacted so that it will fit into a children's story. I'm afraid the book is choppy as it shares Mother Teresa's life. It didn't flow nicely and I kept feeling like I had skipped a page.

I have a real love for Mother Teresa, I even have a painting of her in our family room and it helps me manage parenting with greater calm... anyway - this book was wonderful for me to introduce her to my children in a very accessible way. We had talked about who the woman on the wall was, but this book described her life and work much better than I ever could.

This series about inspirational women, aimed at four to seven year olds is an absolute delight. This volume is about Mother Teresa, chronicling her life from a loving, devout child names Agnes to that of a missionary nun in Calcutta who posthumously came to be known as Saint Teresa of Calcutta. It is beautifully told and illustrated and its message is the wonderfully heartwarming ‘it doesn’t matter if you do big or small things in your life, as long as you do them with great love’. A lovely book for younger children to teach them about charity, goodness and caring for others.
