So very cool！ Short introductions into some very special people。 Some I knew about but many I didn’t。 I really enjoyed the timeline of their lives at the end of their section。 Quick enough to get the little one’s attention。 Enough information to keep their attention。

I can't rave about the Little People， Big Dreams series enough！ I love these children's books for how fun and accessible they make learning about historical figures。 This particular book is a collection of 50 historical figures， many if not all that go on to have full books in the series with more detail。 The book is organized chronologically， starting with Mary Shelley in 1790。 Each figure has a page of information and an illustrated timeline of their life and importance。 What I like about this I can't rave about the Little People， Big Dreams series enough！ I love these children's books for how fun and accessible they make learning about historical figures。 This particular book is a collection of 50 historical figures， many if not all that go on to have full books in the series with more detail。 The book is organized chronologically， starting with Mary Shelley in 1790。 Each figure has a page of information and an illustrated timeline of their life and importance。 What I like about this series too is that while it covers big names like Mary Shelley and Anne Frank， it also includes lesser known and modern people who are important as well。 Thanks to netgalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review 。。。more

This is a beautiful， colorful anthology with eye-catching illustrations and inspiring content！ This anthology of 50 of the "Little People" series of biogrophies， written specifically for children。 I appreciated very much that each short story of the life of a famous， inspirational person， includes a bit about each one's childhood and how they got to where they wanted to go--this made it much more relatable for my little one。 We also loved the timelines for each inspirational person's life， which This is a beautiful， colorful anthology with eye-catching illustrations and inspiring content！ This anthology of 50 of the "Little People" series of biogrophies， written specifically for children。 I appreciated very much that each short story of the life of a famous， inspirational person， includes a bit about each one's childhood and how they got to where they wanted to go--this made it much more relatable for my little one。 We also loved the timelines for each inspirational person's life， which feature more beautiful illustrations as well as portraits and photographs， when available。 These are just the kind of stories that I grew up on--but less white-washed and patriarchal， and I can't wait to get my hands on the hard copy！I received an advance reader copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review。 This review will also be posted to Amazon， BN。com， Goodreads， and my Instagram account。 I just reviewed Little People， BIG DREAMS: Treasury by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara; Lisbeth Kaiser。 #LittlePeopleBIGDREAMSTreasury #NetGalley 。。。more

Thank you netgalley and Quattro for the free ARC copy。 My son and I completely loved it。 We would love it to be in alphabetical order but we still love the bite size information and the illustrations。 I would definitely love to have a hard copy of this book。

Terrific little treasury of varied and diverse people from history; from scientists， artists， activists， writers and sportspeople who have contributed to our world in their own unique way。 I particularly liked the way it's laid out， categorised first by time period and then a synopsis of the individual and then a timeline of their life and important events。 Being a visual person I liked seeing it spread out this way and it makes it easier for children to develop their understanding of their live Terrific little treasury of varied and diverse people from history; from scientists， artists， activists， writers and sportspeople who have contributed to our world in their own unique way。 I particularly liked the way it's laid out， categorised first by time period and then a synopsis of the individual and then a timeline of their life and important events。 Being a visual person I liked seeing it spread out this way and it makes it easier for children to develop their understanding of their lives。 Very interesting read for older children or as a bed time story book。 My 6 year old in particular loved reading about the scientists and authors。 Many thanks to the publishers for an ARC in return for an honest review 。。。more

This truly is a treasure！ Between the covers of this treasury are stories about 50 of history’s most amazing people。 You will read about each life， complete with fears， struggles， triumphs， and dreams that made each one great。 The selection includes writers， mathematicians， activists， leaders， scientists， doctors， educators， explorers， designers， painters， aviators， performers， athletes， broadcasters， naturalists， and humanitarians。 It has been split into 5 eras in history （1790-1885， 1885 – 192 This truly is a treasure！ Between the covers of this treasury are stories about 50 of history’s most amazing people。 You will read about each life， complete with fears， struggles， triumphs， and dreams that made each one great。 The selection includes writers， mathematicians， activists， leaders， scientists， doctors， educators， explorers， designers， painters， aviators， performers， athletes， broadcasters， naturalists， and humanitarians。 It has been split into 5 eras in history （1790-1885， 1885 – 1920， 1920 – 1940， 1940 – 1947， 1947 – 2003）， each focussing on 10 amazing people。 Each of the 50 write-ups includes a colour illustration， a timeline with illustrations， and a summary of their accomplishments。 The book includes a glossary， an index， and an activity for your little dreamer to write about his/herself。 My 8 ½-year-old niece loved this format！ The colourful timelines with illustrations kept her absorbed for quite a while and the one-page summaries were the perfect length to pique her interest。 It is organized so that readers can choose how long they want to be involved in the treasury; for those who have just a little time， there’s the opportunity to read about just one person and for those with more time， it’s possible to read the whole era of ten great lives。 I’m going to venture to say that this is the best children’s treasury I’ve ever read！ Publishes November 9， 2021。 I was gifted this advance copy by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara， Quarto Publishing Group， Frances Lincoln Children’s Books and NetGalley and was under no obligation to provide a review。 。。。more
