Beautifully illustrated in the signature Little People, BIG DREAMS style, this inspiring biography celebrates creativity, resilience, and kindness, and includes extra facts and a timeline at the back.

Perfect for young readers, this book encourages children to believe in their dreams and shows how one person’s talent can change lives—on stage and beyond.
