Coco Chanel: Little People, Big Dreams: 1

Product Information

I love this new "Little People, Big Dreams" series. All feature a different woman in history, her achievements, and biographical information you might not already know. Little People, BIG DREAMS is a bestselling 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. Mariadiamantes is a graphic design and illustration studio whose heart, head and hands lie in Clara Mercader, an artist and designer based in Barcelona.

Coco Chanel was a horrible person and is an even worse icon for young girls. I have no issue with fashion icons being used in books for little girls, we all have our own interests and values. What I do take issue with is glorifying a woman who turned World War Two into an opportunity to hurt her employees (4,000 women lost their jobs during war time thanks to Chanel). Why? Because they wanted fair wages. Maria Isabel Sánchez Vegara, born in Barcelona, Spain, is a writer and creative director perhaps best known as the author of much of the Little People, Big Dreams series. Each book tells the childhood story of one of the world's female icons in an entertaining, conversational way that works well for the youngest nonfiction readers, allowing them to identify with the characters in each story.Coco Chanel and Frida Kahlo are two of the subjects of Isabel Sánchez Vegara and Ana Albero’s ‘A First Introduction To…’ series of lovely little board books – clearly aimed at the younger reader (or the younger ‘read to’). Ya gurl is craving some children's literature as it seems. :> Not sure why but every time I go to my local bookshop now I cannot restrain myself and need to read one of the Little People, Big Dreams-biographies. I'll be through that series in no time, just you wait. ;) Coco is an icon who we can all love. I've been excited about this book for quite some time now and was so super excited when it arrived for me today. Este es un libro ilustrado super-mega-corto que nos cuenta la vida de la famosa diseñadora: Coco Chanel. The Little People, Big Dreams series from Frances Lincoln is a series telling the stories of well known women, and the dreams they had as children, showing that children can one day achieve their dreams, no matter what they might be. They cover the hardships these women faced, but keep the stories appropriate for the readership. Each story also includes a short biography with photographs of the women.

Coco Chanel: Volume 1 (Little People, Big Dreams) : Sanchez

I’m graduated in Fine Arts from the Polytechnic University of Valencia, a beautifull city in the east coast of Spain. Though the series have the same author, the illustrators vary and also seem to be in touch with the personal style of the individual being featured in the biography. Just take a look at the covers of this as well as the Frida Kahlo bio to see the stylized differences. My name is Mark Hoffmann, but some folks know me as “”Hoffmann”” or “”Hoffy””. I am currently working as a children’s book author/illustrator, editorial illustrator, and fine artist. I am also a professor at Montserrat College of Art in the illustration department.At the same time, I work for clients all over the world, through my agents Anna Goodson in USA and Katie Pierrot in Australia. Essentially, these and other ‘First Introduction’ books are simplified versions of Vegara / Albero’s ‘My First Little People, Big Dreams’ book series. Both series’ of books provide basic but lovely introductions to the lives and achievements of inspirational women. There are plenty of somewhat predictable candidates in both series’ (and they’re none the worse for that) as well as some more interesting and somewhat unexpected choices too. First, I would like to touch on the positives. The art was interesting and the book read well to children. Siempre he tenido una gran curiosidad por saber más de esta diseñadora, cómo revolucionó la moda en sus tiempos y en cómo se convirtió en uno ícono de la moda.
