review:
'David Bowie (Little People, Big Dreams)' by Ma Isabel Sanchez Vegara with illustrations by Ana Albero is a read aloud book about a famous pop star.

David Bowie was born to a normal family, but even in childhood, he was anything but normal. He loved music and dance, but had his own ideas about what that looked like. He grew up liking rock and jazz and that would influence his later music. He had his own fashion style. A fight with a friend left him with a permanently dilated pupil that gave him a strange look. His career took off when he wrote Space Oddity and decided to keep reinventing himself.

I loved the last line of this book: "And by never being afraid to be himself, little David became the most unique star who ever fell to Earth."

These books really get the essence of who they are about. The illustrations in this one are great and have hints about who David Bowie would become sprinkled in the drawings. Included is a timeline with pictures of David Bowie.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Childrens, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
