Just when I think that I had read the best book in this series, a new one shows up. Not knowing anything about Kom could have been tricky, though this book is so well-presented, designed, illustrated and Kom’s life story and her endurance is so well told that there was no trick. Excellent.

We love the Little People, Big Dreams series in our house and this newest edition is just as lovely as the rest of the series.

We loved learning Mary's story from her childhood to having her own family and the hardships and achievements along the way. My only criticism is how it's suggested she required her family's support to become a world champion.

I always adore the books in this series and enjoy buying the printed copies for my god-daughter - and this title has wonderful themes of ambition, going against the grain and using success to elevate others! I had not really heard about Mary Kom before picking up this book (which is unusual for this series where I usually know the featured people well) but I enjoyed her inspirational story.

Thank you for the opportunity to read an advance digital copy.

This one was very cute. I hadn't actually heard of Mary Kom before, but this series is great in that way, in that it will introduce you to all sorts of different people. I really liked the illustration of Mary training whilst pushing her children in a pram! I wish I had heard of her before as she's obviously achieved so much in women's sport!

I love the Little People, Big Dreams series and this new book makes an excellent addition. Before reading this, I hadn't heard of Mary Kom so this book provided a great summary of her life and career. As always with this series I like that the author focusses on the virtues that allow people to be successful, in this case hard work and self belief, as well as their career achievements. I liked the illustrative style used in this book and felt it complimented the story really well.

Overall I love this series and this book was a great way to learn about an inspirational woman I hadn't heard of before!
