Welcome to the family, little Wilma! 😊 Beautifully illustrated by the amazing @alexbowman alexbowman

Posted @withregram • @quartokids Introducing: Wilma Mankiller ✨

Discover the life of the first woman to be elected Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation!

Little Wilma was surrounded by her Cherokee heritage growing up. Her parents taught her to be proud of who she was, and all that had come before her. But when the family moved from Oklahoma’s Rocky Mountains to the city of San Francisco, Wilma fully realised how unfairly the world treated Native Americans.

As an adult, she became a leader in the fight for Native American rights, and rose to become the first woman to ever be elected as a Chief of a Cherokee Nation. 👏📚

Written by @mariaisabelsanchezvegara and illustrated by @alexbowman – Wilma Mankiller is the newest addition to the Little People BIG DREAMS series and publishes in August! 😍

Posted @withregram • @father_teacher_reader 💯100th Post 💯

Today is my 100th Instagram Post so I have decided to post about one of my favourite book series - Little People, Big Dreams. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍🤎🖤

These are the best-selling biography series by @mariaisabelsanchezvegara .

They allow you to discover 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. 💭

Told as a story, with a facts and photos section at the back, this sweet series for kids celebrates triumph over adversity through some of history’s favorite characters. 🕐

When I started my page, I only had read a couple of the books from the series but now they have become a firm favourite and we read one every night as a bed time story. 💤

Our current top 3 are;

1️⃣Jean-Michel Basquiat
2️⃣ Elvis
3️⃣Gloria Steinem

Who would be in your top three? ❓
Are you a fan of the series?❓
Which one would you recommend for me to read next?❓

The series is going from strength to strength and I love that the books feature the art and styles of more than 70 different artists from around the world. 🎨

They are so well written and contain the perfect amount of text to inform young children but not overload them with information. ℹ️

These are a must have for every bookshelf and they make perfect gifts! 🎁

Thank you so much to @quartokids for previsouly sending some of these over for review. 🙏🏻

💚 Welcome little Alexander! A new addition to the Little People, BIG DREAMS series. Beautifully illustrated by the super talented sallyagar_design 💚
. . .
Posted @withregram • @raising_bookworms The latest book to be released in the Little People BIG DREAMS series, and someone I wasn’t familiar with, this is Alexander von Humboldt.

Born in 1768 in Berlin, Prussia (modern day Germany), Friedrich Wilhelm Heinrich Alexander von Humboldt grew up with a keen interest in nature and dreamt of becoming a scientific explorer.

He later journeyed to South America and, guided by local indigenous people, was the first western scientist to venture up the Orinoco river, measuring the Andes Mountains, climbing volcanoes and travelling through rainforests, recording his discoveries along the way.

As a result of this, hundreds of plants, animals, mountains and rivers are named after him. Although many had (and still do have), names in indigenous languages.

A fantastic edition to the series and some stunning illustrations (especially the endpapers).

“When I was a child, I was a dreamer. I read comic books and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times.” Elvis Presley

“When I was a child, Ladies and Gentleman, I was a dreamer …”

Author✏️- @mariaisabelsanchezvegara
Illustrator🎨 - @ana__albero
Publisher📚 - @quartokids

Stars - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Well this is a fantastic addition to the LPBD series, as some of you may know I am a little bit of a fan of these books …. and this has well and truly earned its place. The text and the illustrations are a perfect combination to showcase The life of Elvis! ✨

The book starts in Mississippi where Elvis didn’t have a lot growing up but he loved listening to his mum’s country songs and his neighbours singing the blues.🎵

After he finished high school he courageously walked into
Sun Studios and recorded his first song. It become an overnight hit and it was the start of ROCK N ROLL! 🎤

Elvis dance moves become iconic and his songs were being played everywhere. The mix of country and blues had everyone dancing and singing. 🎶

At 24 he was drafted by the US army and spent time in Germany but he was discharged 2 years later. For the next couple of years he made lots of movies and even more hits including; A Little Less Conversation, Suspicious Minds and Can’t Help Falling in Love. 💿

At 36 he received a lifetime achievement award for his contributions to music! 🏆

Elvis is one of the biggest artists of all time and has sold over 1 billion records globally! He is the King of Rock N Roll and he changed history forever!

As always the book included an informative double page spread with pictures and facts from his life. 📷

This book is out today so don’t wait around to get your copy! 📕

Thank you to @mariaisabelsanchezvegara and @quartokids for sending this book over. 🙏🏻

RESPECT for little dreamers! 😊

Posted @withregram • @vooruitgelezenkinderen •Aretha Franklin•

Als klein meisje al zong Aretha de pannen van het dak: in het gospelkoor in de kerk van haar vader, die dominee was en ook thuis en op elk familiefeestje. Al gauw ging Aretha ook touren door de Verenigde Staten en overal waar ze kwam, ontroerde ze de mensen met haar fluweelzachte en tegelijkertijd krachtige stem. Maar Aretha deed meer dan zingen alleen: aan de zijde van Martin Luther King ijverde ze voor gelijke rechten: voor witte en zwarte Amerikanen, voor mannen en vrouwen. Ze werd een baanbreker en een rolmodel en beleefde haar naar eigen zeggen belangrijkste moment toen ze mocht zingen tijdens de inhuldiging van de eerste Afro-Amerikaanse president van de Verenigde Staten, Barack Obama.

Dit fijne blauwe boek maakt deel uit van de reeks van Klein tot Groots: prentenboeken die op een heldere en tegelijk aantrekkelijke manier de levensverhalen vertellen van allerlei mensen die mee bepaald hebben hoe de wereld er vandaag uitziet. Wij zijn fan: omdat de verhalen tonen dat anders zijn je grootste kracht kan blijken en omdat de reeks een podium gunt aan heel verschillende inspirerende figuren: witte en zwarte mensen, mannen en vrouwen, aan wetenschappers en wiskundigen, maar ook aan zangers en zangeressen, voetballers, kunstenaars, modeontwerpers en gewone mensen die op de één of andere manier hun stempel hebben gedrukt. 🔥🔥🔥 #littlepeoplebigdreams

🌈 “Ever since that day when I was 11 years old, and I wasn’t allowed in a photo because I wasn’t wearing a tennis skirt, I knew that I wanted to change the sport." Billie Jean King 🌈
. . .
Posted @withregram • @mamanpointpoint 🎾 BILLIE JEAN KING 🎾
De #mirandasofroniou et @mariaisabelsanchezvegara aux éditons @kimane_ed

🎾 Suite de la présentation des albums de la série "Petite et grande" avec, une sportive !
Billie Jean est née en Californie, dans une famille où le sport est omniprésent.
Fortement intéressée par le baseball, Billie a vite compris que sa passion serait difficile à exercer, du fait qu'elle soit une fille.
Économisant son argent de poche, elle achète sa première raquette de tennis. Elle saura, à cet instant, qu'elle en fera son métier.
Billie Jean est la première joueuse de tennis ayant marqué l'histoire. Elle a remporté les plus hautes compétitions et même contre des hommes.
Billie a oeuvré pour l'égalité des sexes dans les sports, en créant une association avec d'autres sportives révoltées.

🎾 Nous avons aimé la fluidité du texte. La biographie est totalement lisible, compréhensible pour les lecteurs, même les plus jeunes.
Axel a vraiment été surpris lorsqu'il a lu que Billie avait été exclue d'une séance photos car elle ne portait pas de jupe.
Cet album permet vraiment de mesurer l'injustice et l'incompréhension des actes discriminatoires.

🎾 Cela fait beaucoup de bien de découvrir que des personnalités œuvrent pour lutter contre cela, dans tous les domaines de la vie.
Le sport parle beaucoup à mon fils. C'est un domaine que de nombreux enfants rencontrent lors de leurs apprentissages. Alors, ce livre est de nécessité pour éviter de tomber dans des stéréotypes.

🎾 Un de la série que je classe dans les premiers préférés pour sa clarté du message. Le connaissez-vous ?

“The only approval you need is your own.” Amanda Gorman
. . .
Posted @withregram • @sharing.the.shelf QUICKFIRE 5 // We seem to have a new found interest with life stories in our house so I thought I’d share 5 books that may ignite an interest in someone inspirational tonight! Enjoy! [AD-PR Gifts featured]

LPBD: AMANDA GORMAN by Maria Isabel Sánchez Vegara and Queenbe Monyei // Did you know Amanda Gorman had speech therapy as a child? I didn’t. Her face and beautiful words were catapulted all over the world in 2021 and this LPBD tells her love of poetry from school up until that moment and the success that followed. All children and adults will be inspired by her love for words, justice and poetry.

STORIES FOR SOUTH ASIAN SUPER GIRLS by Raj Kaur Khaira // A super collection of South Asian people who have shaped society and continue to do so. The illustrations in this are so unique and powerful; matching the strength of each person’s story that they accompany! There’s a section for young South-Asian girls to fill in about themselves too - a lovely touch!

LPBD MY FIRST ARTISTS by Maria Isabel Sánchez Vegara and various artists // For the tiny people among us, these LPBD board books are a beautiful addition to the series and tell snippets of life stories in a more digestible way. Featuring brilliant images from the corresponding LPBD books, this is an ideal introduction to the series for little ones.

COUNTING ON KATHERINE by Helaine Becker and Dow Phumiruk // An old favourite of ours, Counting on Katherine is the story of Katherine Johnson. It explains her story from school to space and all the inspirational STEM work she did in between. Her passion is beautifully portrayed in this book!

LPBD: MINDY KALING by Maria Isabel Sánchez Vegara and Roza Nozari // I’ve been a huge fan of Mindy since I (finally, years later than everyone else) watched the American Office. I found out so much about her from this book and love the illustrations; the colours and vibrancy. Her story of making it in comedy as an Indian-American female makes for an inspirational LPBD to have in your collection! #littlepeoplebigdreams

To celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, we made our own jubilee crown. It was made using our homemade foam board union flag stamps and decorated with pom pom. We also read the newest Little People BIG DREAMS Series Queen Elizabeth written by @mariaisabelsanchezvegara together. This book explains to children why The Queen deserves to be celebrated and Audrey absolutely loved it.
What are your plans for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Weekend? We are going to meet friends in Isle of Wight today. #audreyqx #littlepeoplebigdreams

💙 Welcome to the family, little Nikola! 💙 It has been a joy bringing you to life with the super talented alexander_mostov 😊
. . .
Posted @withregram • @quartokids INTRODUCING: Nikola Tesla, the scientist and inventor whose groundbreaking inventions we continue to use today!🤩

Since he was a young boy growing up in the Austrian Empire, Nikola was fascinated by science and numbers. His teachers knew he had a brilliant mind, but Nikola's irregular routines and fondness for playing cards meant that he was kicked out of school before he could finish his exams.🔬🔭

However, after working for a spell at the Budapest Telephone Exchange, where he made several clever innovations to their electrical systems, he managed to get a job with Edison Machine Works in New York. 💡🔌

In the United States, Tesla's inquisitive nature and ingenius mind spurred him on to keep exploring electricity, and he came up with several groundbreaking inventions during his time, including breakthroughs in alternating current and wireless remote controls.

By the end of his life, the brilliant inventor had more than 300 patents for original and unique inventions, and had advanced scientific thought by a generation.

Publishing in AUGUST, pre-order your copy of little Tesla now to learn more about his life!📚😍

The newest addition to the series: the amazing story of Alexander Von Humboldt, one of my personal heroes! 😊 Beautifully illustrated by the super talented @sallyagar_design
. . .Posted @withregram • @quartokids INTRODUCING: Alexander von Humboldt, the botanist and adventurer who travelled the world in discovery of plants and species and became the forefather of modern ecology. 🌿🌴🌳

As a kid, Alexander wasn't a great student. He had a naturally curious mind, but he saw the world different to his teachers and fellow pupils, and just couldn't quite fit in. But when he began collecting plants as an adult, Alexander realised he'd found his passion.

From then on, he became a great explorer, travelling the world to document all kinds of plants and species.🐒🍃
