Here are some brand spanking new editions to the ‘Little People, Big Dreams’ series from Quarto Kids.
In this series, we take a closer look at a range of incredible people from designers, writers, artists and scientists.
All of them went on to achieve incredible things, yet all of them began life as a small child with a dream.
Take Agatha Christie, she was an avid reader as a young girl but always had her own idea about how the stories should end.
As an adult, she ended up writing her own crime novels and became one of the best-selling novelists of all time.
She became synonymous with her style of writing, incorporating many twists and turns and eccentric characters.
Marie Curie too is another fine example of a determined woman. When she was younger she wasn’t allowed to attend university because she was a woman, but this didn’t stop her.
She went on to pursue her interest in science and became a well-respected scientist around the globe.
She made a life-changing discovery with radium and polonium which dramatically revolutionised the fight against cancer.
Both books are succinctly written with warmth and heart by Isabel Sánchez Vegara and illustrated with empathy by Elisa Munsó and Frau Isa.
A truly enlightening series which won’t fail to inspire young children everywhere.
