Super cute story giving a quick overview of one of the biggest stars in the world. A great book to read to little kids who love Taylor's music. Heavily focused on her early life and career before the Eras Tour.
this was super cute and it's an age appropriate way to introduce children to the wonderful taylor swift. definitely recommend if you have a kid that's interested in music.
Thanks to NetGalley and Quatro Publishing Group-Frances Lincoln Children's Books for access to this title.
This was super cute. I am unfamiliar with the Little People, BIG DREAMS series but I am a fan of Taylor Swift. If I still collected children's books, I would certainly add this one to my collection. It was quite charming with lovely illustrations. Although marketed for the 4-7 aged crowd, this 42-year-old high school English teacher enjoyed it.

I enjoyed this quick children’s book about Taylor Swift. This is definitely a book my daughter would enjoy if she was a little younger than she is now. It’s tells a quick concise story of Taylor’s life and focuses on her dreams when she was growing up as well as her goals to always be a kind, loving person regardless of the fame and what the world throws at her.
My students were thrilled to be approved for Vegara's latest installment of this series, especially because it was about one of their favorite musicians: Taylor Swift. They loved learning about her life and all learned something new about her. I appreciated that it included some of the things she has done for the public in addition to her history-making music career. Comprehensive and age-appropriate - this was a great children's biography. Thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This is a perfect addition to the Little People, Big Dreams series!
Full disclosure I own most of this series, and kind of knew more or less what to expect. I think it’s a wonderful high-level and age appropriate overview of Taylor Swift. As anticipated the illustrations are beautiful and on brand, and the facts are accurate. I love the little details in the illustration that you may miss the first time, such as the inclusion of a gal in a wheelchair, and another with an eye patch, sitting around the campfire with Taylor as she sings.
This is a beautifully crafted look at one of the greatest musicians of the 21st century.
Taylor Swift is one of THE musical icons of the last decade. Her albums and world tours have given her global fame, chart topping songs, and the undying love of her millions of fans.
This book, in the ever successful series of biographical books, Little People, Big Dreams, continues the theme of showing how anyone can realise their ambitions with effort and application. With a young granddaughter who loves Taylor Swift when all I know is her name and that she is a singer, reading this book seemed like a no-brainer! There is just enough information to engage the interest of the biggest fan as well as those just discovering her music. It is written in an easy to understand manner with friendly, relatable illustrations throughout which will appeal to all ages.
I was able to read an advanced copy of this thanks to NetGalley and the publishers, Quarto Publishing Group, but the opinions expressed are my own. This particular biography will surely be a popular addition to this great series of easily accessible books for curious children aged five and over.
This was a cute book. It would make a nice gift for any young Swiftie. The illustrations were really cute. I'd buy this for family or friends.
This book series is a favourite of mine. I was so excited to see one for Taylor Swift. As with all the books in this series, it highlights the person's childhood to where they are now. The series shares the inspirations, ups and downs that the person it is about went through. For Taylor Swift, one of the most popular musical artists in the world, this story shares her family history and how it inspired her to work as hard as she did and become the massive success she is today.
This is another great addition to this amazing series and swifties of all ages will love it!
My kids and I love Taylor Swift! This was a fun bedtime read for us tonight. It was fun to learn more about her and her family. We especially loved the illustrations!
Thanks NetGalley for the early copy. Taylor Swift is an icon singer who inspires youth everyday. I loved the layout of the book and the message it conveys. Little people who had big dreams and pursued their dreams and achieved them are worthy of books talking about their journeys. I read this with my 10-years-old boy and we loved it equally. Though I don’t listen to music very much and I am not up to date with artists and music I have noticed Taylor Swift and her kindness and so I was interested in learning some more about her.
Little People, BIG DREAMS - Taylor Swift is a perfect gift for young Swifties and their parents.
To read about Taylor Swift has been kinda interesting for me since I didn't knew very much about her background.
Just like in the other Little People, BIG DREAMS the illustrations is wonderful and well written.
I'm hoping this book will get translated to Swedish so I can add it to my daughters collection of these beautiful books.
If you know a young Swiftie then you just have to get this book to that person.
Calling all Swifties, both young and old! Little People, Big Dreams have put together another lighthearted, informational biography about the biggest name in music today. This children’s book about Taylor Swift offers both the good and bad of her rise to fame. It has facts about her childhood and inspirations, as well as her hopes and dreams. This book, like other books in this series, can be read to younger children and then read by older children. It is definitely a great book to add to shelf.
Another cute biography. I just wish these included a little bit more information than about what the famous person is currently good at. Surely Swift was involved with something else other than music at some point in her life...? Still a sweet little book.
3.5 stars
This is such a cute story about Taylor. My 8 year old sat with me while I read this to her and she never lost focus. She’s definitely a Swiftie! The illustrations are very well drawn and it gives you a glimpse into Taylor’s world and how she became who she is today.
The Taylor Swift Little People, Big Dreams book is perfect for all Swifties. My little keeps asking me to read this to her at bedtime, so I know that it’s a good one! The illustrations are wonderful and the timeline of the story is well adapted. I can’t wait to buy a physical copy.
Thank you NetGalley for the eArc copy of this book for an honest review.
My grade 4 class loved this book. They loved he colours. They liked the way the story was engaging and informative. They have read similar styles before and this that the book is good for lower to middle primary aged students.
5/5 recommended
This is a super cute book and perfect for children. Taylor Swift was a little girl with a big dream. Although other kids her age didn't think what she was doing was cool, she stayed the course and kept her eyes on her goals. Even as an adult, she learned that sometimes it's lonely at the top, and being in the spotlight can be exhausting. She's faced a lot of criticism but continued to move forward. This story teaches children that your dream is your dream alone. We are not on this earth to constantly seek approval from others and should focus on doing what makes us happy.
This was such an adorable read. A pocket sized reading treat that my kids got a kick out of. I enjoyed the glimpses into Taylor’s life. It was short, sweet and informative. A definite keeper. TBR and Enjoy!
Such a cute kids book to introduce your favorite little one to Taylor Swift. The illustrations were perfect and captured the essence of Taylor, along with being so fun and bright. The author picks out the perfect moments of Taylor’s life to talk about how she continued to work hard and find her own voice throughout her life, ultimately leading her to success. Lastly, I love how the author also highlights how down to Earth Taylor is besides being a superstar. Amazing read!
