Unwrapping Some Illustrations for You
The Book
Little People, BIG DREAMS is such an amazing series. I cannot praise it enough. It is a bestselling series of books and educational games that explore the lives of outstanding people, from designers and artists to scientists and activists. All of them achieved incredible things, yet each began life as a child with a dream. Elton John is the 50th book in the series. He is an iconic entertainer: songwriter, singer, piano player, and performer extraordinaire that is revered all over the world. He is famous for his stunning flamboyant costumes and fancy glasses that his fans adore.
Elton began playing his grandmother's piano in Harrow, London. He had the ability to pick out tunes by ear and because of his innate talent ended up at the Royal Academy. He answered an ad in a newspaper which lead to a meeting with a lyric-writing friend name Bernie Taupin. Together they created music-magic. His fabulous music got the whole world's attention and Elton, with his amazing concerts and empathic loving heart, was a standout amongst his peers.
The illusrations are vibrant, colourful and quirky. They are a perfect tribute to Elton's music and story. The author has included a biographical timeline with photos and a deeper profile of Elton's life. I highly, highly recommend this book and the entire series.
