This book is adorable and actually tells some interesting stories about Patrick Mahomes life. I had no idea that his dad was a baseball player. Shows a good example of resiliency towards the end.

Thank you NetGalley, Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara and Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books for this ARC.

I love seeing a Little People, Big Dreams new release! To be honest, my football knowledge is fairly brief so this installment about Patrick Mahomes was mostly new information. I appreciate that these books never skip over tough times (ex: the divorce of his parents). Young readers could feel a connection to celebrities who have experienced the same sorts of things. The illustrations are cute, as always, and the page count is perfect for young readers.

Thanks to Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.

I really like these Little People, Big Dreams books and this one is no exception. They make the stories of important/known people very accessible for kids and they are always beautifully illustrated. Patrick Mahomes definitely is a newer addition to the "great people", but I believe his story can influence and also inspire little kids to follow their dreams. Really enjoyed this!

The Little People Big Dreams books are always popular in our house. This was cute, I loved the illustrations. Page 6 seemed a little disjointed from the rest of the book but all in all a good children’s read.

This book is adorable! A great story for any kid, but especially a sports fan! The illustrations are wonderful and it tells the story in a way that gives the information but isn’t too focused on details that little kids can’t follow it. I really enjoyed this book - I also think it’s the perfect length to read for kids!

Patrick Mahomes, by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara, is another children’s biography by Little People, BIG DREAMS. Illustrated by Guilherme Karsten, the biography features bright images from Mahomes’ life. This book features information from his childhood, interests in sports and athletics in his teenage years, his time at Texas Tech University, his time playing American football, his charitable work, and his family life. This is a fantastic book for all those who love American football, teaching them about the world’s greatest quarterback.
