This was the cutest book!! It talks about Stevie Wonder, from when he was a baby until now. There were things in it that I didn't even realize about it. He received a record contract when he was 11!! There is so much more that you don't know that this book will tell you!!

Another gorgeous edition this series. It tells the story of Stevie Wonder and how he took the music world by storm from a young age. As always the story is well told and accompanied by beautiful and vibrant illustrations.

Thank you NetGalley and Frances Lincoln Children's Books for the digital advance reading copy of this book.

This was another fantastic book from the Little People, BIG DREAMS series by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara. Who doesn't love Stevie Wonder? His songs are beautifully written and performed and he has done so much to make the world a better place.

Can't wait to read the next book in the series!

I got this on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review!

I really love this series of books, and especially love how diverse the selection of people featured is! The art, as always, was really nice and I felt it suited the person! I've always admired Stevie Wonder, and I felt like this really highlighted all that he has done! Also, the baby Stevie with the sunglasses cracked me up so much I had to stop reading.

I love this series! While I have loved Stevie Wonder's music and sang his songs to my kids, I had never really learned much about him. In fact, I had no idea that he became famous so young! The illustrations are vibrant, beautiful and engaging, just like kids like them! I loved this book and continue to come back to this series again and again!

This one is short yet quite colurful and accurate in telling who Stevie Wonder was.

I find the storybook quite fascinating as it tells vividly how he grew up and how focused he was in his music. Indeed, he was a legend. The writing is fun to read. The ending summed up well and good.

Thank you, authors and the publisher for the advance reading copy.

I am obsessed with the Little People Big Dreams books, and the Stevie Wonder book is a great addition to the series! The illustrations are adorable, and I was left with Isn't She Wonderful stuck in my head. Loved it.

Stevie Wonder 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.

Stevie Wonder is an American singer, songwriter, musician and record producer. This book follows Wonder as he signs his first music contract at 11 to being named Messenger of Peace by the UN.

Melissa Lee Johnson illustrates this installment and does an amazing job. Johnson's art style was so captivating and her art definitely further helped tell Stevie Wonder's story. I love collecting these books and am so thrilled to add this one to the rest of my collection.

I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

This series is always a joy to read, it’s a really nice introduction to well known people for little children. Of course the plot is always a little bit fast but that’s to be expected and it’s totally understandable.
This book here is about the singer and musician Stevie Wonder. I really like how the book shows his deep love for music and also his very natural talent for it. I believe it could be something inspirational for a lot of people reading this book.

I liked the illustrations a lot, but the narration didn't feel super cohesive - it made big jumps in time without much explanation. Obviously you're getting a limited biography in a picture book, but the way the narration was structured really made that clear here.
