Inspiring!

I love how I always end up things I didn't know about from this series.

This story was charming, a true story of how optimism is your best tool.

Also, big dreams bring big rewards.
The note we published almost brought me to tears!

Illustrations were wonderful too!

I knew of Ernest Shackleton but I had no idea of his difficult trip and how he miraculously brought every single member of his crew back after such hardship! A beautifully illustrated and informative book!

We are all inspired by tales of great adventure and in this edition of Little People, BIG DREAMS we find out the four qualities of a great explorer, all of which Ernest Shackleton possessed.

With a desire to explore the world from a young age he joined the merchant navy and set sail for Antarctica. His story of optimism and perseverance is told alongside beautiful illustrations making this a very accessible book for children to discover the adventurous life of Shackleton.

As a Bookseller, I know that the Little People, BIG DREAMS series are very popular.
As a parent, I know how useful a resource these books are in helping inspire my own children with their learning.

Another great addition to the Little People, BIG DREAMS collection.

This is a concise biography of Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton. It is bursting with adventure, disaster, despair and jubilation.

These biographies are age appropriate; inspiring and interesting, but not overwhelming. They have bright, beautiful illustrations, striking covers, and look great on a shelf together.

Thank you to Quatro Publishing Group and #NetGalley for an advanced copy.

Another gorgeous addition to the Little People, Big Dreams series. My two children are obsessed with the South Pole and couldn’t believe that there was a race to be the first one to reach it and explore it. The story of Ernest Shackleton, and how brave he was (their words), completely mesmerised my 6 year old and four year old. Spending time stuck at home during lockdown truly highlighted and put into perspective how long nine months trapped by ice must have felt to the team of explorers with dwindling supplies and little hope of rescue. As we have come to expect from this series of books, the. Illustrations are beautiful but in this case they also feel perfectly matched to the period in which the story occurs. We all loved this story of adventure, courage, teamwork and dedication.
