I loved the book so much. The drawing style is lively and colourful and the short text is always to the point. As a Swiftie, I will definitely buy it as a hardcover.

Taylor Swift is a great biography for young readers and Swifities! The book begins with talking about Taylor's childhood and her start in music. It ends with talking about her tour and many accomplishments. The book includes a brief timeline and overview of her life.

This is definitely one of my favorite books of this series. Taylor is an excellent role model for young girls and this book would make a great gift for any little girl. Taylor continues to show that no dream is too big or too small and it always pays to be yourself.

Taylor Swift by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara is one of the best books by Little People, BIG DREAMS and they are the best-selling biography series for kids that explores the lives of outstanding people, from designers and artists to scientists and activists.

Inspire kids with the glittering story of pop superstar Taylor Swift! This talented singer–songwriter started as a little country girl with a big dream to become a star.

Little Taylor grew up on her family’s Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania. Then, at age six, she went to her first concert – she saw LeAnn Rimes, the country musician. At that moment, Taylor fell in love with country music! Some of the kids at school didn’t understand but Taylor managed to shake it off! She took her first steps towards stardom by recording a demo of cover songs and sent it to record labels in Nashville, the home of country music. However, while, she enjoyed singing others' songs, she knew all too well that she had to express herself in her own words. So, she started writing her own lyrics and melodies and her natural talent for putting her feelings into words shone through. After signing with a record label, she started working on her first album. Called 'Taylor Swift', it became very popular, very quickly. She earned a number one single on the country music charts. Then, she released her second album, 'Fearless', which was country-pop instead of just country and suddenly, everyone knew her name. She won a Grammy for her work and started to write more and more pop music for her albums. She wrote heartfelt lyrics loved by millions around the world.
Despite the obstacles in her way, Taylor has always stood up for what she believes in, and always believes in herself!

This book is beautifully illustrated and sweet that any small child will just adore.

I am a big fan of the "Little People, BIG DREAMS" series and I do hope this book on Taylor Swift will bring this series in the life of more people. I am not a Swiftie (sorry, not sorry) and I cannot say this book made me appreciate her more, but it was nice and informative.

I love the Little People, Big Dreams Series. I was excited to see this book about Taylor Swift, since my niece is a big Swifty Fan. She has stayed loyal since 8 and just had her 16th Birthday. It is amazing to me how music changes people and just hearing favorite songs brings memories. My niece went to her first concert with her Dad to see Taylor Swift and I bought her all sorts of Special Items for the Concert. I am sure these memories will stay with her forever.

I still do not know that much about Taylor Swift though. I saw her at The Super Bowl and usually hear so much about her boyfriends and songs she wrote about getting through heartbreak. Yet, I was not aware of how much of a Feminist she is and also a Kind Person who tries to help people. That was great to learn as an adult. I wish there was a little more information about Taylor’s background, but it was still worth reading.

Another book that I recommended to my library. They have purchased some Little People, Big Dreams Books and I think these books are so diverse and cover so many different ideas, so the more the better. It helps kids (and adults) really think about how life can be bigger then they are sometimes told.

Excellent Book. Thank you NetGalley, Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara and Frances Lincoln Children’s Books for a copy of this book. I always leave a review of books I read.

My daughter and I have been reading this series together since she was tiny and the excitement for us both to be able to read the Taylor Swift one was very high! As always, a beautifully written and illustrated story-my daughter has had it every night since we received the e-book and absolutely loves it. In her words open speech “the best in the series “

This was such a sweet, heartwarming read. Not only does it tell Swift’s life story, but spreads a message of hoping, chasing your dreams, and fighting for what you believe in. Would recommend this to any Swifties, for them or their mini-Swifties!
