Originally published on my blog: Nonstop Reader.
David Bowie is a new biography for young readers in the Little People, Big Dreams series. I've reviewed a number of these titles and they all manage to pack an impressive amount of detail in these little books in an age-appropriate and accessible manner.
Due out 2nd May 2019 from Quarto on their Frances Lincoln imprint, it'll be 32 pages and will be available in hardcover, and ebook formats.
Written by Isabel Sánchez Vegara it's well written in clear accessible language. The gentle and sweetly humorous illustrations were well done. I loved the series of pictures of Bowie through his different stage incarnations. The art by Ana Albero is appealing and colorful and supports the text very well. The illustrations are rich in small subtle details which bear a closer look (like the little green alien who appears in cameos throughout the book).
Well written and appealing, I am really enjoying all of these little books. This one is a worthy addition.
Five stars. This would make a superlative reading circle book, classroom library book, or gift. Bowie was an intelligent and important cultural icon.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes

A picture book biography with adorable and colorful art appropriate for ages 5 to 8. It incorporates a simple version of David Bowie's life with a loving message that individuality should be embraced.
I have absolutely no idea what happened, but this was the worst writing in this series and I do not understand why. This was just a bad experience of reading.
This book was another great addition to the Little People, Big dreams collection! David Bowie was a wonderful person for children to learn about as he believed in being himself and wasn't afraid of what other people thought of him. The art and illustrations brought the story beautifully to life.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me an ARC of this book for an honest review. :)

I thought this was an adorable book!
It would be a perfect shower gift for a baby whose parent is a Bowie fan.
The story is simple, focused on being comfortable with who you are, following your dreams—all that good inspirational stuff—and the accompanying illustrations are just the cutest.
