I was so excited to see Taylor Swift as the new subject of Little People, Big Dreams. The book is a delightful little snippet of a biography, perfect for her youngest fans. The artwork is adorable and charming, much like the young TSwift was at the time. The messaging was on point: work hard, follow your dreams, never give up, and above all be kind. This book is the perfect addition to any Swifties' library, regardless of their age.

Both my daughter and I were delighted to see Taylor Swift was the next star of Little People, Big Dreams. This is a house full of TS fans so it was great to preview this book and we're looking forward to adding it to our bookshelves upon publication.

Beautifully illustrated, the book tells the story of how Taylor found her path into the music business and onto to global stardom whilst remaining true to herself and being thankful and grateful to her fanbase. Taylor Swift's story is an especially inspiring one and her determination, kindness and talent is wonderfully celebrated in this book. This book would be a gorgeous gift for a young fan. It's really lovely.

This book is darling! I love the bite size biography for younger fans. The inclusivity shown in the artwork is amazing as well. It will be so good for kids who love Taylor to be able to see themselves in this book.

My daughter collects “Little People Big Dreams” books and she was so excited to have early access to her favorite popstar, Taylor Swift. The artwork was awesome, and the story was inspiring. We can’t wait to buy the physical book when it comes out to add to our collection!

I am a Swiftie. I’ve been a Swiftie since I was 15 when Taylor released her debut album in October of 2016. I’m roughly the same age as Taylor. So watching her through the years and literally growing up with her and her music has been something I feel very grateful for.

This little people big dreams book is so darn cute! And very informative. I really enjoyed it a lot. I would definitely purchase this book for a friend’s child and even myself. This is the perfect addition to a collector’s collection!

This was adorable! I loved that this is a current book about Taylor Swift. So many have become outdated quickly. This was cute and great for a young audience since Swifties have no age limit. The drawings seem a little odd to me since they don't quite resemble Taylor Swift too much, but I think they fit with the style of other books in this series.

Thanks to NetGalley for an advanced look at this book!

This inspiring children's biography of Taylor Swift is part of the Little People, BIG DREAMS series, which features people whose childhood dreams led them to achieve incredible things. The book begins with a narrative of Taylor's life, alongside incredible illustrations by Borghild Fallberg. It then moves to a detailed, chronological timeline of her life from 2007 to 2023, accompanied by photographs.

The book is sure to delight children of all ages and children at heart, and encourage them to follow their dreams. Taylor's talent and use of language in her songwriting skills surely leave a positive impression on me.

I received an advance reader's copy from Net Galley and Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Children's Books. My review is my own.

I downloaded this to read with my 6 year old daughter who really likes Taylor’s music. We read the book together and both learned some things about Taylor’s life. This book makes Taylor’s life relatable and emphasizes what a kind, caring person she is. This is an excellent book to read with any young Swiftie.

Another great Little People, Big Dreams title.

This is aimed a younger children so mainly focus's on simple facts such as how Taylor likes to be kind and caring. The pictures are lovely and I feel capture the essence of Taylor really well. Although this is a bit on the younger side for my 11 and 8 year olds as 'fans' they loved reading this book (although they can find out much more about her online) as it focuses more on her as a person than a pop star!

A great book for younger children and all Swiftie's!

My nieces and I are all Swifties, so being able to read this with them was so fun! The illustrations are so whimsical and charming. I was smiling pretty much the entire time while we were reading it, then we promptly cued up the playlist!

Yet another book in the Little People, BIG DREAMS series that stole my heart. This one is about Taylor Swift and the author captured Taylor’s life up to this point in a beautiful way. Both the story and the accompanying art is not only beautiful but also inspiring, showing kids all over the world once again that everything is possible even though there are hurdles in life that you need to overcome. I loved the artwork especially, which surprises with little details and adds beautifully to the story itself. I think every kid (and adult) can learn something from this, no matter if they’re a Swifty or not.

Thank you Quarto Publishing Group and Netgalley for providing me with this arc in exchange for an honest review.

As always, this was so cute. I think most of these books are. This one especially though, I think the illustrations and the colours just really worked and brought it to life.
