Jane Austen by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara

New in the Little People, Big Dreams series: Discover the remarkable life of Jane Austen, one of the world's most beloved authors, in this true story of her life.

“Strikingly illustrated, they’re superb first biographies for younger readers”

* The Huffington Post *
“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 *

“A QUIRKY kids biography series“

* The Voice *
“Brilliantly accessible and inspiring”  * Rhino Reads *
“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 *
Maria Isabel Sánchez Vegara, born in Barcelona, Spain, is a writer and creative director in constant search of new concepts for children’s books. In 2014, she created a book for her two twin nieces for their birthday, which shortly thereafter became the first book in the Little People, BIG DREAMS series. This multimillion-copy bestselling series of picture books explores the lives of outstanding people. From Mahatma Gandhi to Aretha Franklin, to Prince, Sánchez Vegara researches complex careers and makes them accessible to young children, with her unique and mindful style of writing. She works with a diverse team of illustrators to make each book lively, eye-catching and motivating. Working for more than fifteen years for clients in top advertising agencies, her books combine creativity with learning, aiming to establish a new and fresh relationship between children and pop culture. ​

Katie Wilson lives and works in a little old railway house in the beautiful South Island of New Zealand. She creates for both adults and children and her illustrations are sweet and cheerful with a handmade feel. Her work has appeared in magazines, greeting cards and books. When she isn’t drawing she can be found walking the dog, hanging out with a horse or planting fruit trees in the garden.
