The ‘My First Little People, Big Dreams’ series provides informative and inspirational biographies about people who left a mark on this earth, no matter what difficulties they have encountered.
These stories are very short, but that’s because they’re books for children, so it’s totally understandable.
I think they are a very smart and wonderful way to introduce little children to such important figures.
This little one here is about Steve Jobs, a man that has changed the thecnological word with his intuition and heard. Everyone is familiar with the brand Apple, so it's nice to introduce children to the figure behind the brand.

Steve Jobs // by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara // illustrated by Aura Lewis

In a new installment of Little People, Big Dreams, we get to learn about the life of Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple. I was surprised at how much was packed in this little book that I did not know about him yet. I loved reading about his supportive adoptive parents, his non-traditional course through life, bypassing higher education and showing how important hands-on learning is as well and how it can lead to great success in life. The illustrations by Lewis are very colorful and accompany the text well.

Steve Jobs is a short biography by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara. This addition of Little People, Big Dreams contains vibrant illustrations. Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for my digital copy.

Once again I have learned something new from the Little People, BIG DREAMS series. This time I learned that Steve Jobs was adopted. I also learned that Steve lived a pretty interesting life as a bit of a free spirit. Overall a fun book, loved the illustrations.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

This is another fantastic installment in the Little People Big Dreams series by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara, this time focusing on Steve Jobs. This book is a short and sweet biography for children told in easy to understand format with bright, enjoyable pictures and tells how Steve Jobs became interested in computers and how he made the first Apple computer.

I love this series, its really inspiring for children and has so many different installments that there's bout to be at least one book in the series a child will connect with.

The best book series ever for children.The snippets of Steve jobs life added in this book are very interesting.I would have preferred a bit more though .

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is the second book that I have read in this collection, but unfortunately I didn’t enjoy it as much as the first one that I read (Captain Tom Moore).

I thought the book itself was quite short and could definitely have gone more into his life after his career had started.

As always, the illustrations were lovely, and I’m sure children will love this book.

I received an electronic ARC from Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books through NetGalley.
This series continues to provide strong biographies for mid-elementary level readers. The book begins in Jobs' childhood and takes readers through the development, launch and successful growth of Apple Computers. His death is included in the timeline at the end. The text is simple to follow and the illustrations offer further insight into Jobs' life. The rainbow and other pops of color let readers see how he looked at the world.

Always enjoyed this series!

This one about the whiz kid who starts Apple. From this tiny book, I learned so much about Steve Jobs. How computers fascinate him, and his adventure creating the smart computer.

I love this series, I learned didn't know much about Steve Jobs but I learned two things from this book. It is so hard to find nonfiction books for younger kids and this series just hits the mark. The end of the book they have a page with a little more information it also directs you to other books if you want to keep reading. I want every last one of the books in this series for my library! Bravo!

Another wonderful addition to this series. As always the art and information were perfectly handled for the intended age group.

This one didn't seem as inspiring to me as the rest in the series. I very much got the impression that he didn't do much in his life and then took all the credit for his friend Woz's idea.

Little People, BIG DREAMS is one of my fave children's non-fiction series. Well, even just children's book series in general!

These books are full of knowledge and lovely pictures. This time around we learn all about Steve Jobs, the famous man behind Apple. His story is unique, and has been told a lot, but is told in a friendly and fun manner in Maria's book. Did you know that Steve was adopted? There's more facts like that packed tight in this colourful, cartoon-y book.

I absolutely adore these books. They make learning fun and make non-fiction way more interesting than I remembered them in my youth. I give my highest recommendations to give these non-fiction picture books to your younglings and introduce them to a world of knowledge early. Also, it's just fun!

Four out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

I found this to be a simple cute boot to read, My favourite part was the illustrations. I do feel however that compared to the other books in this series it lacked a interesting story.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this book. Unfortunately, I do not have the capability to read this book in the protected pdf format. Thank you.

Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara has done it again, now with illustrator Aura Lewis! A new <em>Little People, Big Dreams</em> book has arrived and this time it's about Steve Jobs! I was <em>massively</em> excited to see this one and the timing couldn't have been stranger for me. So, I live in California and have recently just happened to meet someone who went to high school with this very man. As an avid fan of this series and someone who has a heavy respect for <em>Steve Jobs</em>, I just had to read this one.

<b>Learning Opportunities</b>

I'm always thrilled and amazed when I learn things from children's books. It's just such a wonderful thing when both kids and adults have the opportunity to learn together. Despite knowing a number of things about Jobs, I genuinely had no idea that the man was adopted. I will forever appreciate this series for educating even me. And I truly hope that these books reach, educate, and <em>inspire</em> a great many children.

And it comes at a great, time, too. After Apple's heyday and in a moment where nearly everyone has owns something from Apple. It can be easy, I think, for the younger generations to live unaware of the man who started it all. Were he still alive, I imagine he'd be as common a name now as Bill Gates was when I was young.

<b>Looking In</b>

Now, I'll admit that the artwork for this book isn't my favorite. Sánchez Vegara seems to have a number of illustrators contributing to this series as I recall them being different nearly every time. And while they all generally are able to keep a similar format, something about this one was a bit off for me. Steve looks a bit goofy, especially with the way his hair was drawn. And I get that he was a nerdy guy, but I just didn't love it.

There are also a lot of muted tones here that might make it difficult to keep some younger readers engaged.

Overall, I would say that I loved the book, of course. And I will continue to be excited any time I see a new <em>Little People, Big Dreams</em> book come out.

This review will be live on the Reader Fox blog on September 20, 2020.

We love the Little People, Big Dreams series! they are such approachable colorful books for kids and they learn about people who have made important contributions to society. Today, the kiddo got to learn about the guy who made his precious iPad possible.

The Steve Jobs installment in the series tells of how Steve was adopted and how even as a kid he liked figuring out how stuff worked but also had a more artistic design-oriented side. The book focused more on the time before he founded Apple, but in general the focus of these books is about how the person grew up and followed their dreams. I recommend this picture book for anyone with kids interested in computers or technology.

This was an okay read, though not very engaging. The illustrations were colorful and fit with the story. I think this is one of those books that’s more for parents than for children.

I got this on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review!
I really love this whole series, and love the great variety of people featured!
The book about Steve Jobs is pretty interesting, and I feel like I learned a few new things about him from reading this! I wish there was a bigger focus on him after his career got started tho, instead of e.g. that page where it says he fell in love with that girl.
Pretty great tho!

The children holding this title in their hands probably take the computer (and the iPad and…so much tech), completely for granted. But it was not always that way. For what we have today with our Macs and more, we have Steve Jobs to thank.

This entry in the excellent series tells the story of Steve Jobs and how seeing a computer, a huge one, when he was 12 influenced the direction that his life would take. It surely shows that Steve was a person with a dream who could make it come true.

The author mentions that Steve was adopted as a baby. Young folk who were adopted will no doubt find this adds a bit of extra interest to the book.

The author of this series does a great job of introducing children to change makers as she does again here. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title. All opinions are my own.
