I have been a fan since I was 12 and it’s high time, imo, that we have a little people big dreams to celebrate the person who is indisputably the biggest name in music. The illustrations are very beautiful and I enjoyed the inclusion of Taylor’s social activism. I appreciate this is primarily aimed at children so it’s unlikely to include the negativity in too much detail but nonetheless it’s a crucial element to her character and success that she persisted throughout unrelenting abuse; and this ought to be represented. Perfect time for this to come out with the uk era’s tour just months away! Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC
My kids absolutely are obsessed with Taylor swift and they were quickly obsessed with this book too. If you’re a swiftie.. this is a winner
What an adorable addition to the Little People Big Dreams series! Taylor Swift is such a huge artist and millions of kids will be excited to read about her beginnings as a musician. Beautiful illustrations and a wonderful story about an iconic artist.
I read this boom with my children. Both of them commented on how much they loved the illustration on each page.
The narrative prompted them tonask questions and it kept their attention throughout.
The story details the rising fame of Taylor Swift.
Very well written.
This is such a lovely book and the illustrations throughout are amazing. It also portrays the ideals that Taylor tries to promote such as to never give up and being kind to everyone.
This children’s book was so perfectly told. I loved the illustrations and the story of Taylor. It tells her journey to get into music, growing up and her music career. It has some great messages including kindness, achieving your dreams, and believing in yourself. My niece really enjoyed the illustrations on the pages. Many thanks to Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books and NetGalley for the digital review copy of this novel. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.
A well-written, well-illustrated short biography of Taylor Swift that's perfect for young Swifties and Swifties-to-be. Lovely messages about family, following one's dreams, inclusiveness, importance of mental health, and girl power.
As a swiftie, I adored this. Giving her background with such cute background imagery, adorable. I don't have any little swifties in my life sadly though but I'd buy this for my young niece's!
This collection is just ADORABLE! I’ve been reading some titles from it over the years and couldn’t pass on the opportunity of reading about Taylor’s younger life.
It’s a very fast read, that will for sure delight the fans of any age.
I would like to thank NetGalley for allowing me access to this one!
This book was so cute! I enjoyed the story that they shared about Taylor. Thank you for the opportunity to read it!
This is a cute little book about Taylor Swift and her career. The book’s overall focus is how despite being one of the most famous celebrities in the world she has remained humble and kind to others.
The illustrations were cute and this would be make a great gift for Swifties everywhere!
This book about Taylor Swift was such a delightful read! As someone fairly new to her music, I appreciated learning more about her journey and success. It's inspiring to see how being in the right place at the right time can lead to great opportunities, as it did for Taylor. Her handling of the situation with her masters being sold and her decision to re-record shows her integrity and determination. I admire how down-to-earth she remains despite her fame, and her genuine care for her fans shines through. After reading this, I feel like I understand Taylor a bit better, and I'm definitely eager to explore more about her and her music.
I would recommend this for a young child who loves Taylor Swift. The art style is adorable and the story is highly accurate. Can’t wait to see a physical copy when it is released!
A cute picture book with the general outline of Taylor Swift's career. Cute illustrations and fun for Swifties and littles alike.
My daughter and I enjoyed reading this book together. The illustrations were beautiful and we liked learning more about Taylor Swift. I particularly enjoyed how the focus was on being a kind human despite all of her fame. I think Swifties who are moms will eat this book up and scoop it up for their shelves. Thank you, NetGalley, for an advanced peek at this book. I can’t wait for it to release to gift it to my girls.
This is a really cute, short and sweet biography of Taylor Swift. It is the perfect book for her youngest fans. My seven year old and I read it together. We loved the colorful illustrations. I love how the book describes the ways Taylor started working toward her dream at such a young age, it will be inspiring to her young readers. I think the book could have been a tad bit longer, I would have liked some of the significant facts about Taylor that were mentioned in the timeline at the end to have been incorporated into the narrative itself.
A charming biography for children and fans alike. I loved the photos and key details in this short biography. I plan to add to my collection of books!
A very well timed addition to the Little People Big Dream series. Taylor Swift is a huge celebrity at the moment, and this book perfectly details her rise to fame for the target audience of children.
The writing is pitched wonderfully at the right level, describing Taylor's struggles with others at school, and her perseverance to reach stardom. Showing her working hard, and ignoring all the troubles and romance seen in the press, the book is a fabulous tool to show children that you can achieve your dream if you work, but that being kind is important too.
A lovely well written little book about Taylor Swift, I'm relatively new to her and her music but have enjoyed what I've heard so far. It's nice seeing, hearing and reading about young people doing well for themselves. Initially being in the right place at the right time to be seen and heard by the right people in Taylor's case.
I feel I know Taylor a bit more after reading this, she knows right and wrong when it came to her masters being sold, re-recording with someone else shows that she wasn't happy and wanted to rectify it. Good on you!
I like how she still seems down to earth, her fans aren't just making her money, she cares about them, she wants to share her journey and she loves them. She sounds a lovely person inside and out and I will look out for more about her and her music and background as it's interesting to know the backstory.
I wish her well in the future!
I think there will be a huge number of kids waiting for this book. My little girl couldn’t wait to read it with me!
The story is really well told and I learned a lot about Taylor that I wasn’t aware of at all. I love how it continues to tell her story once she found fame and how she has developed into the artist she is now. As with all of these books, they are limited in what they can tell due to their audience and length, but I do believe there is a market for a slightly longer version of these books for readers aged 8+.
The book is beautifully presented and I believe this will be one of the biggest selling Little People, Big Dreams titles.
