Vivienne Westwood is a new book in the
Little People, Big Dreams series. Written by Mª
Isabel Sánchez Vegara and illustrated by
Laura Callaghan, it was released 5th March, 2019 by Quarto on their
Frances Lincoln
imprint. Aimed at younger readers, it's 32 pages, perfect for a
storytime or classroom circle read. It's available in ebook and hardcover formats. I've reviewed a number of the books in this charming series
on my blog. This one, about fashion rebel icon
Vivienne Westwood, takes the often turbulent life of the originator of 'punk style' and handles it in a charmingly age-appropriate manner.
I really liked that the author and illustrator have managed to write an engaging book for children as well as including cultural events and bands which will appeal to adults.
I don't know what criteria they use for selecting the subjects of their biographies, but the varied and interesting people in this series have all been winners in my opinion.
Well worth a read. Would make a good library selection or gift.
Four stars.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes
