I absolutely love the books in this series and always find something new in them even as an adult!
The focus of this book is the wonderful musician and performer Stevie Wonder!
In this book you get to read a little about his early life in the book and the difficulties he has overcome to be such a well known, world wide star having lost his vision at such an early age - the book shows that he is an inspiration and you should not let your disabilities should you back.
This is the perfect little book to introduce Stevie Wonder, and his music to younger children.
Lovely images and another great addition to the series - 5 stars from me for this one
I really like this new addition to the 'Little people, big dreams' series. I've always enjoyed the music of Stevie Wonder but didn't know much about his life. This book is a nice introduction, very accessible to children. It's great that so many big names from music and sport etc are introduced to children in such a fun way. Great illustrations too.
I love this series of books and this one didn't disappoint!
Of course I knew who Stevie Wonder is but I didn't know any of his history at all - I didn't even know he was a child star, let alone the fact he was in an accident!
Great book that is great for adults as well as children.
I absolutely adore this series of books - so was super excited to get the opportunity to read and review this book. Stevie Wonder is my complete idol! I adore him!!
This book was beautifully done, and there were even some parts I was unaware of within Stevie Wonders history - such as his accident, and him coming out of his coma to a gospel song and taping his fingers. (I really hope that's true and nothing was exaggerated there!)
The only reason I didn't give this book 5* was because I disagreed with having Stevie - as a newborn - wearing the famous glasses. I understand this was somewhat a motif within the book, and to Stevie as a person - but something just didn't sit right with me that he had the glasses on while in hospital after being born. (I know that's very minor, but it does make me question the illustrators choice there.)
Other than that this book is very cute, and very informative (for such a short book)
