The Book
This book is another winner from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy best-selling Little People, BIG DREAMS series. Hans Christian Anderson is highlighted. He is a man otherwise known as the father of fairy tales.
Little Hans was born in Denmark into a very poor family that could hardly keep a roof over their head. "They had one precious jewel that they kept carefully in the cupboard: a book". His father nightly read stories from that book to him and Hans fell asleep feeling like a superhero in those beloved stories. His desire was to become an artist but his hopes were dashed because he never got a prominent role to play, he always was cast as the troll. This disappointed him terribly.
While he was locked in his room waiting for another role to appear he spent his spare time writing. He showed one of his stories to the theater director, and although it was full of misspellings, the man found them enchanting. Hans jumped at a chance to go back to school and learn proper Danish which he needed to carry on with his writing.
He progressed on to write much loved poems, travelogues and stories that were loved by both young children and adults all over Europe. All his books were kept as treasures and read over and over again by the whole family. His stories were expanded into plays, ballets, and movies. Han's received a most high honour. On the second of April every year - the day of his birthday- kids all over the world now celebrate Children's Book Day. Hans now was loved worldwide.
The illustrations are fantastic and quirky which I love. The book features extra facts at the back including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the writer's life. I love this book and the entire series. I highly, highly recommend it.
