3,5 stars, rounded up to 4. I really like Vivienne Westwood, and I think she's a good role model for kids and love the idea of a children's biography done about her, but I think it doesn't quite work for the intended age group. Board books to me say toddler/preschool age kiddos, and the concepts here are probably going to be over their heads at this point in their lives. The bright, fun illustrations will be a hit though! I'm sure the parents or grandparents will dig this too!

Little People Big Dreams is a series of nonfiction books written to inspire children to be what who they want to be. This one focuses on Fashion Designer, Vivienne Westwood, who expressed her views through her unique clothes. She used fashion to voice her protests, to be anti-fashionable, and to change the world.
The illustrations in this book are great - really detailed and add a lot to the short sentences on each page. The illustrations are probably my favourite part. I would have liked a little more information about the how's and why's (for example, why did she encourage people to buy fewer clothes, how did she show us to speak up and change the world, what was she protesting against)? I think it may be aimed at younger children and that is why the writing is so basic. Would love a Vivienne Westwood story aimed at older children covering the detail!

Lovely illustrated telling of Vivienne Westwood's story. I am excited to see the next book to come to this collection. This is perfect for young children to inspire them that they can be anything they want to be.
Vivienne Westwood is an interesting woman, certainly, but I must admit that I wasn't a huge fan of the artwork in this edition. I normally find the books in the 'Little People, Big Dreams' series quite charming, but this fell a little flat for me.
