I love the Little People Big Dreams series.
Being an NFL fan, I was hoping for some new insights into Patrick Mahomes. This wasn't anything new for me, but still really sweet for a child to read through.
The pictures were great, and the message was great. I liked the focus that Patrick didn't really "pick" football until he was in his second year of University. It's important for kids to understand they don't need to decide when they are so small.
I wish his wife and children played a more prominent role.

Once again, this was another great book from the Little People, Big Dreams series! I didn't know much about Patrick Mahomes before reading this however, I feel the concept of these books is great so you don't necessarily need to even know of the person beforehand to enjoy - the stories are inspirational regardless. It's a great way of educating children and showing them that anything is possible!

A short biography, perfect for young readers. Describes how Patrick tried many sports before setting his sights on being one of the best quarterbacks in The NFL. Great message of setting and achieving goals!

Patrick loved many sports and learned that teamwork and sportsmanship were the most important. After college he went professional with the Kansas City football team and was very successful. But he is proudest of his family and of the Foundation for children that he is responsible for.
The illustrations by Guillherme Karsten are simple, colorful, and expressive.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to everyone, but especially to a school or your local public library!

This was the first book in the little people big dream series I have read. Being from STL my family are massive KC Chiefs fans, so getting to learn about their star quarterback in a cute, fun and informative biography filled with colorful illustrations was a lot of fun. I cannot wait to tell my family facts about Patrick Mahomes that I learned. Thank you @netgalley and @quartopublishing group for the wonderful arc. I really enjoyed it and cannot wait to read more in the series.

Here is another excellent entry in the author’s series that explores the lives of now famous people. She looks at how they came to be that well known person.

In the case of Mahomes, he tried several sports before becoming a Super Bowl winning quarterback. But it was not only sports, but also sportsmanship and dealing with setbacks, that made Mahomes the special athlete that he is. He is also a person who has given back through his foundation.

Kids will enjoy learning more about the football player in this delightfully illustrated entry. It would make a nice gift for a young sports fan.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for this title. All opinions are my own.

I didn't know anything about Patrick Mahomes when I chose to read this book, but I love the series so was keen to find out more. This instalment in the Little People Big Dreams series provides a good distance children to understand that dreams change, and to show both wins and losses. Beautifully illustrated and perfectly pitched as is the norm for books in this series.

Another fun book in the series!

My four-year-old and ten-year-old both love the Little People, Big Dreams series. This latest book focuses on the life of athlete Patrick Mahomes. We were less taken with this book than with previous ones in the series, but this may also be because we're UK-based and do not follow American football! This book has the same beautiful illustrations that we've come to expect from the series.

A recommended read for fans of American football and fun educational reads for children.

Thank you to Netgalley and Quarto Books for providing me with a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

.This a short kids biography of Patrick Mahomes. I enjoyed the biography and learned interesting things about this three-time Super Bowl champion quarterback and MVP. The illustrations were nice and the writing was simple enough for an elementary student to understand. I would recommend this book to any Patrick Mahomes fan with kids.

Thank you to NetGalley for this e-copy of”Patrick Mahomes” in exchange for a honest review. This is a great non - fiction read that is perfect for early readers (Grades1-2).It discusses Patrick Mahomes journey from all-round sports player to Super Bowl winning champion..It describes his great work ethic that made his dreams come true and is a very inspiring book for young readers and has great illustrations.Great for young sports lovers.

This is another great book in the 'Little People, BIG DREAMS' series. This time we follow the American NFL player Patrick Mahomes. He has been interested in sports all his life until he discovered his love for American Football and then followed his dream to become a star of the NFL. Also together with his wife he set up a children's charity which also encourages the kids to develop a love for reading.

Another fun, adorable little biography for very young readers from the Little People, Big Dreams series. The writing and pictures are perfect for small children, who can learn about this popular football player and how hard he worked for his success. Mahones also had a supportive family who cheered him on the whole way. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this.

Once upon a time, Patrick Mahomes dreamed of being a baseball star. His father was a professional pitcher, so that's probably natural. Well, he became a star, just not in baseball. Although he was an all-around talent in several sports, eventually football won Mahomes' heart. The Kansas City Chiefs and fans are glad he made that decision.

While I know Mahomes name and face from his football highlights, and there are many, I realized I knew nothing about him as a person. Well, I did recall a wife and child but that was about it. So, this book taught me a few things, too, even though aimed at children. As it turns out, Mahomes comes from a divorced family and was largely raised by his mother. His athletic skills carried him through high school and on to college where he eventually settled on football as his primary sport. Several Super Bowl appearances and championship titles later, the world knows his name.

While I rather wished this book had focused more on the person of Patrick Mahomes and not quite so much on his football status, it does give us a glimpse into what formed him. Even as a casual football fan it's seemed to me that he's relatively humble, taking neither his success for granted or himself, for that matter. Those aspects are definitely well earned and a reminder to the youngest wannabe sports star that responsibility comes with success, too.

The illustrations are simple yet effective with lots of Kansas City Chief colors, I might add. That said, they also show him with his family, both his parents and his own. Readers can take inspiration from him and come to see that talent isn't the only thing required to be a success. You have to be smart enough to take advantage of that talent without losing track of what's important. Mahomes seems to grasp that idea, making him someone to not just idolize but try to emulate, both as an athlete and person,. Thanks @QuartoPublishingGroup - #FrancesLincolnChildren'sBooks for this early peek into the life and times of a talented, well-rounded, and well-grounded young man. I'm sure we will hear more about him in the future.

My son is a HUGE Patrick Mahomes and KC fan. He's 12, so he is older than the demographic to read this book (6-8 yrs). I thought since he is a major fan that this would be something nice for him to have. I had him read it and it still has entertained for a quick read. I too read it, and it's cute! IT's also informative and engaging if you have little ones that are football/ sports fans. The illustrations are clean and nice to look at. I love this little book and im glad I got it!

I didn’t know much about Patrick before, ahem, Taylor Swift introduced me to the NFL, but the more I’ve learned the more I am so impressed by him and his life. This book truly captures the heart of Patrick’s story and is so full of encouragement and motivation to keep pushing for your dreams. Another wonderful addition to my family’s favorite book series!

This is another cute and inspiring instalment of the Little People, Big Dreams series. The colourful illustrations - especially those of Patrick trying out different sports as a child - are memorable and fabulous! Was it even better because I’m a recent convert to being a Chief’s fan because of Taylor Swift’s boyfriend? Maybe :)

Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to view a digital copy for review consideration.

Thank you, NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books for the eARC of this picture book. I love this Little People, BIG DREAMS series so much. It's educational and gives a lot of information with amazing illustrations. Children will find it fun and easy to read. They will also learn how to achieve their dreams from Patrick Mahomes' experiences.

This book was so fun! I have a group of super football fanatic second graders, and they will be so excited for this! I have multiple books in this series in my classroom biography section, and they're popular with my students!

Patrick Mahomes by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara is a wonderful children’s biography that showcases the life and achievements of the NFL superstar. It beautifully captures Mahomes’ journey from a sports-loving kid in Texas to becoming a record-breaking quarterback and inspiring leader. The vibrant illustrations and simple, empowering narrative make it accessible and engaging for young readers. This book not only celebrates Mahomes’ athletic talent but also highlights his character, perseverance, and philanthropy. It’s a must-read for young sports enthusiasts and aspiring dreamers alike!

Really lovely, as most books in this series. Love the illustrations and the language for children. Great stuff. Will definitely be buying for Christmas gifts.
