ReviewsBest children's books for spring - "Strikingly illustrated, they're superb first biographies for younger readers." -- The Huffington Post, "One children's books series trying to fight back... by telling the inspiring stories of women who overcame adversity and made history by pursuing their childhood dreams."-- Toronto Star, "The kind of books that adults will covet and collect as well... The language and structure is simple enough for young readers, while a biographical timeline at the end of each book offers greater historical complexity" -- Irish Times, "Informative text...smartly illustrated... Another batch of successful instalments in the series" -- School Library Journal SLJ, 'The picture book biopic of Frida Kahlo in the very successful Little People, Big Dreams series is very carefully judged. It doesn't sugarcoat Frida's injuries or her struggles with chronic pain, nor does it indulge in triumph-over-adversity clichés, but looks at her disability as part of who she is as a woman and an artist. Frida is shown with a range of mobility aids, which is a bonus.'-- James Catchpole , Caboodle, "One children's books series trying to fight back... by telling the inspiring stories of women who overcame adversity and made history by pursuing their childhood dreams." -- Toronto Star, 'Sumptuously illustrated hardbacks, they take the life stories of famous women in history and retell them in a child-friendly way'-- Daily Mail
