What a great book for such an unique artist. I adore the Little People Big Dreams series and this is definitely worth looking at!
I love the Little People, Big Dreams series and thought this made a great, new addition. I thought the message to believe in yourself and dare to dream was really inspiring and as usual with this series, I like that the author focusses on the characteristics which lead to the subject's success rather than just focusing on career achievements. Dalí's story is told in a clear, concise manner which could be understood by children of all ages as well as providing older readers with an overview of the artist's life. I liked that a brief biography and photographs are included in the back of the book as well as ideas for further reading.
I wasn't keen on the illustrative style in this book however it didn't detract from the story. The style does lean into the surrealist style that is synonymous with Dalí so I understand why it was chosen however it isn't my personal favourite.
Overall I love this series and thought this was a great addition!
