Summary

*Selected as One of Oprah’s Favorite Things 2021*
“It’s never too early to introduce youngsters to inspiring people who have changed the world.” —As Oprah says on OprahDaily.com

  Meet three inspirational women from the world of music: Ella Fitzgerald, Dolly Parton and Josephine Baker! This boxed gift set of three hardback books from the internationally bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series introduces little dreamers to the lives of these incredible women who worked in music and changed the world.

In these remarkable true stories, learn how three women overcame hardship to achieve great success in music.
  • Ella spent her early years singing and dancing on the streets of Harlem. She went on to become one of the most famous jazz singers of the twentieth century.
  • Dolly grew up poor in money but rich in love. She followed her musical passion to make her name as a world-famous singer songwriter and businesswoman.
  • Josephine was born for the stage. She moved to Paris and found her audience, working as a dancer, and actor—and even a French Resistance agent.
Each of these moving books features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the woman's life.

Little People, BIG DREAMS is a best-selling biography series for kids that explores 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.

This empowering series of books offers inspiring messages to children of all ages, in a range of formats. The board books are told in simple sentences, perfect for reading aloud to babies and toddlers. The hardcover and paperback versions present expanded stories for beginning readers. With rewritten text for older children, the treasuries each bring together a multitude of dreamers in a single volume. You can also collect a selection of the books by theme in boxed gift sets.
