"Strikingly illustrated, they’re superb first biographies for younger readers." ― The Huffington Post

'Sumptuously illustrated hardbacks, they take the life stories of famous women in history and retell them in a child-friendly way' ― Daily Mail

“Brilliantly accessible and inspiring” ― Rhino Reads

Books for Style Hunters - "Charming" ― Smallish

"A QUIRKY kids biography series" ― The Voice

“One children’s books series trying to fight back… by telling the inspiring stories of women who overcame adversity and made history by pursuing their childhood dreams.” ― Toronto Star

“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

The drawings reminded me of the cartoon “Madeleine”

Reviewed in Australia on 8 June 2018

This cute little kids book is an introduction to a world renowned designer whose life, though quite controversial, was very interesting. Having read her biography once before, I wondered how they would tame the life story of a woman who created the world’s famous scent Coco Chanel into a children’s book but I have to say the authors and illustrators did a fabulous job to tell her story through sequential art and few words. The drawings reminded me of the cartoon “Madeleine”. Quick read, definitely suitable to read to a younger audience – even 4 years and under as it’s a hard bound picture book. Special thanks to Allen & Unwin Publishers for sending me a review copy of this book.

Stunning book!

This range of books is pure enjoyment. Beautifully written and illustrated. It’s a pleasure to watch my children’s faces whilst they learn about people who have been so influential in our world. My daughter knows how much I love Chanel No 5 (smells so good!) and NOW she understands who created the scent and why she is so important in the history of fashion and women in business.

Being different is not a superpower

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 January 2019

Verified Purchase

But this books acts like 'being different' makes you amazing. Different from what? It's a pretty boring story. She is 'different' a lot, makes some dresses, makes a hat, and that's about it. And who are these books for? Too adult and dull for kids, too simplistic for anyone other than infantile grown ups who prefer pictures to words. All seems a bit like forcing a PC agenda down kids necks than actually entertaining them.

Lovely quality, beautiful illustrations, great stories.

Wow! Such lovely books. I didn't expect them to be such goood quality hard backs. The illustrations inside are wonderful and captivating. The writing in each page is short and to the point so great for little ears and young readers. Plus I've learnt from them too. Will be buying more of this series.

Beautiful Book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 July 2020

Verified Purchase

The Coco Chanel was the first book in the series that I bought for my daughter. As with all of these books the illustrations are beautiful and there is enough information to tell a story but not too much that you lose the interest of young children. I love them all!
