Review
“The kind of books that adults will covet and collect as well… The language and structure is simple enough for young readers, while a biographical timeline at the end of each book offers greater historical complexity”
(Irish Times)
Best children’s books for spring - “Strikingly illustrated, they’re superb first biographies for younger readers.”
