I love this series for my kids! I’m always on the lookout for these and I was excited to see Leonard Cohen as the newest subject. This is the perfect way to introduce children to figures who have shaped our world. If you are a music fan, this is a must. Add it next to your David Bowie and John Lennon copies :)

Definitely buying a physical copy for our home library when this releases!

This entire series is a wonderful, quick read introduction to the world of the personalities we should know about. I do know about Leonard Coehn and like his work very much and this book does not disappoint in providing an accessible sketch of his life, suitable for the young ones in our lives or just for those of us who enjoy a nice, kind presentation of the lives of those who have enriched our lives. Lovely book, good writing and illustrations and a good introduction to Mr. Cohen's moving works.

This is a cute book about one of my favorite artists of all time. It distills Leonard's life down to the elements a child can understand. I really loved the illustrations

Seeing beauty where others may not, such a great thing. Great story about pursuing one's dreams. Illustrations were wonderful as well.

I'm always excited when I see a Little People, Big Dreams book in the NetGalley catalogue. I knew absolutely nothing about Leonard Cohen going into this and this book provided a great overview of both his musical career as well as his personal life. As always with this series, I love that the book teaches valuable life lessons alongside telling the person's story. In the case of this book, the main message was the power of hope and the importance of seeing beauty in everyday things. I thought the illustrations complemented the story really well.

Overall I love this series and this book makes a great addition to it!

The Little People, Big Dreams series is so wonderful. As a mom, I think I read them more for me, than my boys.
They always have a great message of following your dreams, mixed in with important character qualities for children to aspire to. But for the adults- I always learn new things about real people that I follow or know about. It always reminds me that a person's story is important- it's not always about where you end up- but the journey to get there.
Loved learning about Leonard Cohen- who I knew very little about.

I loved the story! The illustrations are absolutely beautiful. I think this is a story my kids would really enjoy listening to and getting to look at all the pictures.
