I can only imagine how popular this book will be! Taylor just seems to have a universal appeal at such a young age. This one tells her story - so far!

I love this series and use them both at school with my class as well as at home with my own children.

Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read and review.

This is a sweet and beautifully illustrated read that covers Taylor’s story just the right amount. It gives us a brief overview of how she became to be and will leave new fans wanting more!

This was a great introduction to Taylor Swift. I think the book provides just enough information for early readers interested in learning more about the musician. The pictures are super cute as well. I can understand why this is such a popular series of biographies at the library!

I love these books and I’m so glad the series is including more and more modern people, with Big Dreams. This one is a great edition, if you don’t know about the Power of Taylor Swift…where have you been?

This goes from her growing up in a small town as a western music lover to her worldwide devotion to music of all genres and also talks about her charity work and the main attraction- her little cats!

This was so beautiful. It lives up to Taylor's life in a straightforward and easy-to-understand way.

I think the high point of this was the illustrations. They felt like a huge war, and you could identify the eras and people in her life. I loved that in one of the last pages, where people are sitting in a fire pit, you see a girl with a tampon in her eye, and in the other, you can see someone wearing a hijab and a hearing aid. It brings inclusivity and I fell that kids might feel closer to the story and Taylor.

I would totally buy this for any kid who I want to meet Taylor or the ones that already like her.

Adorable!

Thank you to Netgalley for a chance to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was so sweet. I have been a huge Swiftie since I was 15 and this definitely made me tear up a little, because it's right - she really did 'grow up with her fans.' This is a sweet intro to Taylor Swift book that baby Swifties will love! My niece has recently expressed love for Taylor and I cannot wait to read this with her!

Thank you NetGalley for providing me an ARC of this illustrated book in exchange for a review.

This was such a sweet illustrated book. I am a Taylor Swift fan and as such I adored the story told in this book. This is perfect for those who have little ones who haven't been introduced to Tayor yet, for those who want their children to understand the power of following your dreams and standing up for yourself or just for the Swifties who love collecting memorabilia.

Lovely short read. 5/5 stars.

Part of the Little People, BIG DREAMS series, this book is great for little kids to educate them on the lives of idols that they look up to, like Taylor Swift. I learned things about her that I didn't know, and the illustrations are very well done as well.
Seemingly just a biography, but also inspirational for those kids.
Definite must have!

My children were gifted 3 books from the Little People, Big Dreams series - Amelia Earhart, Rosa Parks and Audrey Hepburn. They enjoyed reading and learning about these people. So when we saw this Taylor Swift one, we picked it up. Naturally, as is the style of this series, it's very informative and provides a great background and history of the person the book is about in simple, easy to understand language.

The illustrations are also wonderful and on par with the series. Very colourful. Even I learned a thing or two about Taylor Swift I didn't really know about.

Would definitely recommend for any fans of her.

Young fans will eat this up, whether or not they already like to read. A smart addition to any children's biography collection. As a librarian, this is a no brainer.

As an adult fan, I didn't really learn anything, and I would have appreciated more of a nod to each distinct era (since that's how Taylor seems to be mythologizing herself). As a nit-pick, the cats are also drawn sort of generically. I would have loved to be able to tell who is who!

May or may not buy for my personal collection, but if I worked with a younger age group I'd be buying multiples.

Another addition in the 'Little People, Big Dreams' series which focuses on noteworthy historical figures in our world.

A sweet story that takes children through the key highlights of Taylor’s career. Whilst also mentioning some of the unique ways she interacts with her fans. Perfect for a little Swiftie.

Thank you to Netgalley, publisher and author for an eARC in exchange for this honest review.

As an aunt I’m always looking for books for my nieces and nephews to get them into reading. I love finding books on icons that they know and will appreciate. This was a condensed, sweet, and perfect story for children. The illustrations are so nice too!

As someone who is known as “the book aunt” & “the aunt that love Taylor Swift,” I would absolutely read these to my niece and nephew. It’s cute and playful. It also teaches you to follow your dreams no matter what.

I just love this woman. I think the art in this book was beautiful, but the story seemed a little bit too clinical. But I will always happily share her story because she has changed the way women and girls see themselves for the better.

I love this book! I think it's an awesome book for a little girl who struggles to think she can achieve her dreams. It shows that hard work can help you achieve what you want to in life.

Thank you NetGalley and Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara for the opportunity to review this book! I loved sharing it with my daughter.

Such a great biography and example of a strong woman.

Highly recommend and look forward to purchasing the book for our home library.

This is such a cute biography for kids about Taylor Swift. The illustrations are colourful and soft, and the story itself touches on snippets of Taylor's life that feel relevant and easy to understand for kids. And as a Swiftie, I appreciated how the different eras were represented throughout the story. A great addition to the Little People, Big Dreams collection and perfect for Swifties!
