My nephew is an aspiring tennis player and Nadal is his favorite player. Even though he is older than the age group of this book, I got this to read with him since he is also learning English and he absolutely loved it! The illustrations are beautiful, the language is clear and the story is engaging. When we finished reading, nephew thanked me for the book. I’d recommend this to younger kids in need of inspiration and interested in sports.

Thank you for the opportunity for reading prior to publication!

A sweet little book about an exceptional player. And a great way for children to see if you work hard and you love something, you can go far. But to always remain who you've been. Rafa did that. Cute cute book and I can't wait for my kids to read it.

What a great book providing a kid friendly version of Rafa’s great tennis career. The illustrations were perfectly paired to this great story book.
Thank you Net Galley for the ARC.

I love and recommend this whole series. These books help even very young readers learn biographies of famous people. Every book is bright and the illustrations are cute. In this one, we learn the background of tennis great Rafa Nadal. I thought it was especially interesting that he comes from a family with a soccer player and he used to play soccer himself, but Rafa decided to play tennis from a young age and was successful even as a teen.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

How could you resist reading about the tennis legend that is Rafa Nadal.

This story focuses on how Rafa Nadal got to where he is. his drive to succeed and the importance of hard work.

What fantastically colourful and engaging illustrations throughout.

I always look forward to the release of a new little people, big dreams book to read with my little girl. This did not disappoint.

Highly enjoyed this book, which I read with my 8 year old daughter and great to find out more about the background if this great tennis player.

Another absolutely fabulous book in this series. Having grown up watching Nadal play Tennis is a true legend and one Tennis play I would love to watch live it was interesting to read that his uncle actually got him into tennis and become his coach. Another book to add to the hardback collection.

This was another lovely Little People, Big Dreams book. Our family loves these books because they are short but interesting and often inspiring, as was the case with Rafa Nadal's story. My daughter was inspired reading about Rafa's perseverance in his sport and was impressed by his prestigious winning record. I thought this story was very relatable for kids because it shared Rafa's struggles in his pursuit of success. I highly recommend this book and others in the series for young readers to explore biographies and history.

Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books for gifting our family with an ARC to review. All opinions are our own. We enjoyed it!

I absolutely love this series and this one was a great addition. The illustrations as always were beautiful and really enhanced the storytelling. I loved that the author not only focused on Nadal's skill as a tennis player but also his kind, generous personality and determination which is what many people around the world admire him for. I always love with this series that a summary and photos aimed at an older audience are provided at the back as well as book recommendations to learn more.

Overall this was a great read and another brilliant addition to the Little People, Big Dreams series!
