Part of the critically acclaimed Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of David Bowie, the starman who dazzled audiences with his music.
As a child, young David lived with his family in a tiny house on an ordinary street, but he had a head full of songs and ideas. At school he loved music and dance, and he was inspired by his brother's rock and jazz records to pick up the saxophone and start writing his own songs.
After earning his stripes in some of the coolest bands in London, David splashed onto the solo scene. David knew that to be a star, he had to combine great songs with great performance, and so from that point on, he took on a range of shapeshifting personas, from Ziggy Stardust to the Thin White Duke. But really, he was just being himself and expressing his art on the stage.
His songwriting talent and musical skill made him one of rock and roll's all-time greatest artists. This moving book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the musician's life.
Little People, BIG DREAMS is a bestselling biography series for kids that explores the lives of outstanding people, from designers and artists to scientists and activists. All of them achieved incredible things, yet each began life as a child with a dream.

      Grades K-3 Young readers will find inspiring stories of individuality and courage in the latest installments of the Little People, Big Dreams series (4 new titles). As always, these child-friendly biographies utilize brief, approachable text and inviting artwork to tell of the childhoods and accomplishments of admirable figures in history or living today. David Bowie celebrates the unique spirit of this music legend and various artistic personas, emphasizing his aptitude for defying convention and staying true to himself. At times, the books make superlative statements that would be challenging to prove?Bowie was the most unique star that ever fell to earth.; Parton is the most respected country performer of all time. ?though the sentiments ring true. All volumes end with a two-page spread featuring a photo-illustrated time line and more detailed information on the featured individual. A light, endearing series.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
