Sometimes I wonder if I was born in the wrong decade. I love music but I seem to have missed out on growing up with so many fantastic musicians and performers, and Prince is certainly one of those. Despite being too young to really remember the work and performances of Prince I still love his music, hits like ‘Purple Rain’ and ‘Kiss’ just stand the test of time.

With a talented musician as a father it only seemed natural that Prince would inherit some form of musical gift. Prince loved music, loved to dance and loved to play his dad's piano despite not being allowed to. Whilst not loving school, he thrived at dance lessons where he could express himself and show off his own creativity. Prince could do it all - he could sing, he could dance, he could play instruments, he was the complete musical package and this made him a superstar.

He broke the rules and challenged musical stereotypes - he wore outrageous outfits including wearing high heels and did amazing things with his voice. He was one of the most colourful performers in pop and his music spanned musical genres where he would combine and mix sounds and styles to create incredible and original songs.

Delightfully illustrated with bright and bold artwork and with a story told in short and simple sentences, this is a very colourful read about the man who made a memorable mark on the musical industry. At the back of the the book there is a short overview of his life which includes key facts and dates and a historical timeline featuring photographs.

Prince was unique. A unique talent, a unique performer, a unique individual. This book is a celebration of that uniqueness and a reminder to us all to just be ourselves and to be the one who breaks the mould.

Recommended for 5+.

Prince is the latest in the Little People, Big Dreams series and is due to be released in early 2021. I had heard of Prince but knew nothing about his music or upbringing so learnt something new by reading this book. This picture book contains vibrant illustrations and is another great story to add to this series. Thanks to NetGalley for digital copy.

This is another adorable entry in the Little People, Big Dreams series. I appreciated the colorful illustrations and was very excited to be able to share the story of Prince with my two young children, but I wish it went into a little more detail. I didn’t feel like it had as much impact as it could have for such an important artist.

Another great addition to the "Little People, Big Dreams" catalogue. I feel like it encompassed the pizzazz that Prince brought to the world, yet with a brilliant adaptation for young minds.

So cute and so informing. I loved this one. The illustrations were terrific and I loved the color palette. This was such a beautiful non-fiction book, and I adored it. I so highly love that anyone can read this, and be informed on these historical figures. I also loved the writing style, it was fun but informative. This was a great read.

If you're looking for a fun way to introduce your favourite musician to your young ones, grab Prince by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara! I absolutely love this series and have to keep sharing it, seriously!

I love this non-fiction, picture book series that introduces famous people to young readers. This book combines fantastic illustrations with a positive, family friendly story about Prince! It's a fun, quick read that will let you learn a few new things while enjoying non-fiction with your kiddos.

He was a young boy born to a musician, and he picked up his Father's stage name (I did not know that!). Eventually he becomes one of the world's most famous musicians with the coolest purple outfits around.

My only critique is that the illustrations in this book are less than a lot of the other books. The style was kinda goofy and too child-like for me. They're still okay, but some of the other books had better.

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.

Part of the Little People, BIG DREAMS series. A wonderful biography of the legendary artist Prince. Loved how vibrant the colours are in this book and how it encourages little ones to dream big and dare to be different.

Here is another in the wonderful series that tells the stories of those who were once “little people” with “big dreams.” This vibrantly illustrated entry is on Prince. Young readers will find out how Prince got his name and why he changed it, how old he was when he wrote his first song and when he was when he recorded his first album, the ways in which he was unconventional and more. This book celebrates the artist and his music. It is another winner for kids who dream.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title. All opinions are my own.

I don't read a lot of children's books, but the "Little People, Big Dreams" collections always catch my eye! This book was a really quick and easy biography of the artist. It would be a great gift for children of Prince fans. The writing was informative yet easy for young readers to understand. The illustrations were unique and simply gorgeous. I'd definitely recommend if you have a young reader!

I adore this whole series, which features modern(ish) pop stars, authors, and artists in a kid-friendly bio format. For some reason, the publishing industry and education world only focus on long dead artists and authors ("the cannon"). It's so refreshing to be able to give your library biography section an update with these kids' books.

This particular title about Prince is a perfect example. Ahead of his time and dancing to a beat of his own design, this book is an amazing piece to share with kids. Very kid-appropriate even though Prince himself bordered on the risque at times. If you're worried about those risque times, don't. No one hesitates to show kids bios on artists like Picasso or historical figures like Jefferson. This is no different.

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

Prince is another fantastic book in the Little People Big Dreams series by critically acclaimed author Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara.
I discovered a few things I didn't know about Prince reading this and found the colourful pictures warm and interesting with an abundance of colour just like Prince was in life.
This book encourages children to follow their hopes and dreams and is a wonderful tribute to the late Prince.

This maybe my new favourite book in the series! I absolutely adored all the illustrations, especially Prince with the cats and I also learnt that he had been part of the batman sound track (as if he wasn't cool enough already!) I will definitely be adding this one to my collection when it comes out!!

This book was just terrific! I love the Little People, Big Dreams Series. This book about the fantastic artist, Prince was incredible. It gives us a glimpse into the life of someone unique. Prince loved to be himself, and mixed dance, music, composing, and songs into his Albums. He is an excellent example for children, but really all of us, to hear of his different ideas and how he used them to be a force of creativity. He wrote his first song at 7, his first album at 19 playing 27 instruments. His album titled Prince lead him to be a superstar. He reached for his dreams, saw the world as a big rainbow, and wanted to celebrate that. The pictures in this book are tremendous. Those bring the book to life. The colors and pictures are vibrant, so it is so easy to understand the beauty that Prince conveyed. I loved reading and looking at this book, but the more diverse stories children can read or hear, the larger their world. This book is perfect for that.

Very colorful. I liked the illustration style in this one. And as always this whole book series is an epic win for young children.

"I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own."
I love this series of children's biographies. They did an excellent job with Prince. The story was well done and the pictures were great and captured the mood well.

The art style in this book complemented Prince's vibe really well and was engaging to look at in a way that kids will really enjoy.

I love this series of books. I appreciate the diversity of dreams and accomplishments and believe this series is a great addition to any young readers libraries as it teaches that there are many forms of success enforcing the principle that no matter what you choose to do in life you can actually dand remember to dream big!!!

Here's the story of a famous Prince, a singer. One precious thing I learn from him: you are always a special person. You are not defined by your academical value, but your talent, your passion, and your love of something. Can be enjoyed by all age, please spend some time to read the book.

Prince is the newest lead in this latest edition of the Little People, BIG DREAMS series by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara. This series is such a delight and the perfect way to educate not just kids but everyone about historic and cultural icons.

Prince was a an American singer-songwriter, musician, record producer, dancer, actor, and filmmaker. This book follows Prince embracing feminine attributes with his music to starring in the film Purple Rain and chasing his name to a symbol

Cachetejack illustrates this installment and does a fantastic job. Cachetejack's' art style was so captivating and her art definitely further helped tell Prince's story. I love collecting these books and am so thrilled to add this one to the rest of my collection.

Sanchez Vegara continues to bring well known people to life for elementary level readers. This book about Prince is no exception. She takes readers from his childhood through all of his musical explorations. The illustrations show his larger than life personality and his gifted musicianship. Informative text included at the end fleshes out the book for further study. This is a terrific introductory biography series for younger readers.
