“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
"A QUIRKY kids biography series" - The Voice
'Sumptuously illustrated hardbacks, they take the life stories of famous women in history and retell them in a child-friendly way' - Daily Mail
‘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
Little books about big inspiring women!
