We love these books and of course needed Beyoncé. My daughters just getting into proper music and knows who Beyoncé is so she enjoyed this one. We love these books though they are really well writing and the pictures are beautiful.

Who doesn't know Beyonce? Even when you don't listen to her songs, you know her existence in the world. And the author of this book didn't hid anything, Beyonce is a glow by her own self. The smart girl with motivation that rocks the world, inspire black children to do whatever they desire, she's one of the gem. And hopefully, with this book, she can inspire more children to glow like her.

Fab intro to all things Queen Bee!

Loved the illustrations and all the information that went with - definitely one to show any kids that like dancing along to Single Ladies!

A round of applause for the ILLUSTRATIONS. The colors, style, simplicity, but details are gorgeous. This book has a great, but not complicated, overview of Beyoncé. As a teacher, I appreciate the timeline at the back with photographs. This is a great place to discuss text features and that this book is non fiction even though it has drawings.

The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous! Story wise though, I feel like it literally flies through her life and barely touches on anything. I wanted a bigger focus on music and maybe a discussion of why she is so praised, so good, so famous.

This series by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara is a hit with me. I definitely enjoyed all of them and the little ones will do too!

Another lovely entry in the Little People series. I especially like the cartoon of the Single Ladies video. There is also some neat rainbow artwork that emphasized Beyonce's growth as an artist. The lineup of all the different types of Beyonce is also clever.

This book is a good choice for little girls to show that Beyonce was just a kid like them.

Thank you NetGalley & the publisher for the ARC. I will purchase for my library.

As an elementary school teacher I love the Little People Big Dreams series. These books are great for children to learn about icons of all backgrounds. I love how the collection is so diverse. The Beyonce book is very well written the illustrations are beautiful. I highly recommend this book as it is a positive reflection for little girls and any child who has big aspirations.

This kid-friendly book about one of the most prominent musicians of the 21st century is so beautiful, with clear writing and gorgeous illustrations. This is an excellent read for young ones interested in Beyonce or her music or anyone looking to expand their knowledge of modern idols.

The lovely LPBD team have turned their biographical skills to one of the MVPs of music.

Beyonce Knowles started her career singing for tips in her mum’s hair salon then won her first accolade at the school talent show, age 7. She went on to join choirs before setting up a band called Girls Tyme with her friends.

Over the years, the band changed its name and its members several times but eventually, shot to global stardom as Destiny’s Child, changing the face of R&B and Hip Hop music forever. When Queen Bey decided to go solo, she achieved superstardom with her anthem, Crazy in Love, following it up with hit after hit including Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) after marrying Jay-Z.

Her album ‘Lemonade’ is a tribute to Black women everywhere and she has become one of the most celebrated artists of all time, giving hope and determination and drive to girls, especially Black girls, everywhere. She proves that passion and determination, plus a sizeable helping of immeasurable talent of course, will take you to new heights.

We love this book, its description of Queen Bey’s climb to the top and its message of positivity and perseverance encouraging our little ones, age 4-7, to follow their dreams and work hard to achieve their goals.

A well-written and well-illustrated biography for children. Any fan will enjoy reading it with their young fan.

Love this book and how it tells the success story of beyonce,
And I like how it tells the story in a way a child would understand

As a small child Beyonce dreamt of being a singer and sang to any audience whenever she could. Soon she worked with a group that changed and more until she became a solo performer who developed dance moves that were popular in all corners of the world. Beyonce has changed the music scene forever.
The illustrations by Jade Orlando are fun, simple, brilliantly colorful, and delightful.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school or your local public library!

i love how women popstars finally getting a little biography in the form of this book. i've never really known Beyonce even though I often heard her name, and now little kids can know her too. cute & lovely illustration as usual!

As a huge fan of Beyoncé and of the "Little People, Big Dreams" books, I was very excited to read this book with my family. This is a great biographical story about the chart-topping superstar that is easy for children to understand. Beyoncé’s inspiring story is interesting and informative for children and adults alike, and the illustrations are fun and unique. I enjoyed the extra facts about the performer's life at the end of the book, which included a biographical timeline, photos, and a more detailed profile. There were also some additional resources on the last page if you want to learn more about her.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Children's Books for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review..

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for my honest review.

I don't know a single person who doesn't like Beyonce. She is a fierce and strong lady. I wish this book had been published when I was a child. I would've liked it. Even as a 25-year-old childless adult, I enjoyed it. I would buy this for little children in my life! Adorable!

Thank you!

This did an excellent job at telling a simple version of Beyonce's rise to freedom and the things she has accomplished in her career. She is a good role model for standing up for what's rights, supporting others in their success, and going for your dreams.

This was a fun book to read. The illustrations are bright and engaging. I also enjoyed the inclusion of the timeline at the end. I think a lot of young girls will love this book and looking up to Beyoncé. She has done so much in her life.

As a mom, I’ve always been interested in making sure my children are aware of the strong women who have blazed a trail in life, pursued their dreams and overcome obstacles. It’s one reason that the Little People, Big Dreams series has been present in our home since our children were babies. This latest book on Beyoncé is a fantastic new addition to the ones we have and gently showcases how Beyoncé grew from a little girl from Houston into the powerhouse Queen she is today. It’s presented in an age-appropriate way and doesn’t get too bogged down in details that young readers may not be interested in, choosing to focus instead on how Beyoncé discovered her passion and pursued it. The illustrations were lovely, as they always are in this series, and I appreciated the empowering, positive vibes and girl power that subtly runs through the book (appropriate, given Beyoncé’s platform and what she’s known for). The timeline in the back of the book was interesting and really demonstrated her many accomplishments, which would be encouraging for many young readers to see that anything is possible. I also enjoyed that there was a small box at the end of the book for further reading for anyone interested in knowing more about her. Overall, a good introduction to a wonderful, modern feminist role model—one I’m looking forward to sharing with my girls!

A lovely quick and inspiring read :)

Now I want to listen to Beyoncé/Destiny’s Child haha!

Perfect for any little and big reader :)

Beyonce is the perfect addition to the Little People, Big Dreams family. Her story of grit, determination and a desire to succeed is inspirational.
The series are perfect for those children that are just managing to independently read and the books are great as shared reads.
Beyonce's life story is illustrated by the wonderful Jade Orlando - her pictures are bright and colourful and they pop off the page.
The timeline at the rear of the book details more about Beyoncés life and there is also a recommendation of other novels that are available on Beyonce.
