This is a short graphic novel about the how Beyonce became the star she is today, in my personal opinion I would have liked even more information since it seems extremely short but still enjoyable.
Perfect for kids

This addition in the Little People, Big Dreams series follows Beyoncé. It shows her life—from her childhood to present day—and the story of how she came to be one of the world’s most famous women in the music industry.  

With beautiful artwork and an inspiring message—that with hard work, determination and dedication anyone can achieve their dreams. An enjoyable read for fans of all ages looking to learn more of how Beyoncé came to be at the top of the charts.

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for an ARC copy in exchange of an honest review.

My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

Received for review: I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Why did I decide to turn the pages? I love this series. Most of the books are very informative, and I love the diverse representation in the series. So when I was given the chance to review it, I took it.

My Overall Thoughts/Impressions: I loved the illustrations in this one and the theme about reaching for your dreams and working for them. The illustrations of Beyonce singing were particularly well done. It can be tricky to write books about people who are still alive, but I thought this did a good job hitting on the most important parts of Beyonce's life. I think fans will enjoy this one.

Pages: 32

Reading age: 4-7 years of age.

Love,

Danica Page

As a massive Beyonce fan, I absolutely had to download this. I think Beyonce is a brilliant addition to this series, She's accomplished so much in her life and shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. This is an inspiring book that I think will become popular amongst the younger readers. I also thought the illustratons in this were really beautiful as well.

This is a very cute children book about Beyoncé. While the book is clearly targeted to small children, I found the book to be inspiring and showing a good diversity representation.

As a K - 5 teacher, I enjoyed this book. The illustrations are kid-friendly and could help provide visuals during class read alouds. The text would help children in grades 3 - 5 learn more about Beyoncé's rise to fame. The timeline runs from her childhood all the way through the present and pages have one to two sentences which makes the text accessible to children of all ages. The last page has real pictures of Destiny's Child and and a few pictures of Beyoncé winning her prizes and a few performances.

The only thing that I wish were different is the illustrations. I wish they looked a little more like Beyoncé, but they are kid-friendly and they are colorful.

 This is a another fantastic edition to this wonderful series for young children. Beyoncé is a household name all over the world so I enjoyed discovering more about her childhood and I loved the illustrations by Jade Orlando. I didn’t realise that she’d won so many talent competitions as a young child or that she was in girl groups before Destiny’s child. Highly recommended for younger readers. 
Thanks so much to NetGalley and Frances Lincoln Children’s Books for my digital copy via Adobe Digital Editions
