Another great book in the 'Little People, BIG DREAMS' series!
I love how the illustrator used the Jamaican colours throughout the pictures.
I also loved the use of the Usain Bolts classic 'pose'

Another stunner of a book in the series!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this book in exchange for my review! All opinions are my own.

I enjoyed this book because I remember watching Usain Bolt running on the TV. Usain Bolt is a very interesting person and I think children will enjoy learning about him. I also really enjoyed the illustrations.

I absolutely love the Little People, Big Dreams series and this was no exception. I enjoyed the writing style and liked how the author weaved in life lessons about the power of hard work and determination. The illustrations were beautiful and really enhanced the story. I love that these books contain a summary at the end which is aimed at older readers and recommendations are given for extra reading.

Overall I love the Little People, Big Dreams series and this might be one of my favourites as I remember watching Usain Bolt run when I was younger!

I love this series. Even very young readers can learn about interesting people like Usain Bolt and his amazing accomplishments. It's amazing how he overcame scoliosis to win several gold medals and support programs for other young athletes. I didn't know that he became a music producer after retiring from sports. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

A great book about Usain Bolt.. Was able to get the facts about him and follow along with the colourful pictures.
My son also looked and read the book.

Who doesn’t want to learn more about the charismatic sportsman.

This book makes the inspiring back story of Usain Bolt accessible to children in a fun and engaging way.

The illustrations are colourful and eye catching, they really add to the story.

Another winner from the Little people, BIG DREAMS series. Definitely one to add to the collection.

As a family, we love to read Little People, Big Dreams. This is no exception. It was fascinating to learn about Usain Bolt, from his childhood to becoming a world class Olympian. 10/10

Having now read quite a few Little People, Big Dreams books, this was definitely a favourite. Usain Bolt is a great role model to many youngsters and his popularity will encourage many to pick up this book.
The story is really well written and incredibly informative, teaching me many things I didn't know about Usain. It also includes many lessons which are valuable to young people about determination, overcoming adversity and never giving up despite failure. The illustrations are fantastic as always to bring the story to life.
My little girl has already requested we pre-order this book! I would love to see more sports stars featured in the Little People, Big Dreams series - hopefully more will follow!
