What a beautiful book that will give young people an introductory look at the life and motivation of Anne Frank.

This is the first time I've read a 'Little People, Big Dreams' book and I have to say I am impressed. I believe these books are pitched at 4-7 year olds and the level of information seems to be right.

I enjoyed the illustrations that accompany the telling of Anne's story and how her diary came to be published, and also the short section at the back with a greater level of detail that may be more suited towards older readers.

I would highly recommend these books to those with younger children just as a starting point so they can begin to understand why people in history are so important.

Many thanks to Quarto Publishing Group and NetGalley for providing a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This series is always a joy to read, it’s a really nice introduction to well known women for little children. Of course the plot is always a little bit fast but that’s to be expected and it’s totally understandable.
I've read a lot of books about Anne Frank and I think this is a good introduction to her life. I loved the fact that the illustrator chose to put the focus on the diary by leaving every other illustration in black and white whereas the diary was the only colourful object in the whole book.

I am so glad this book series exists. The illustrations are gorgeous and they are such an easy and fun way to get very young children interested in history early on while inspiring them with stories of little people who have changed the world in their own ways.

The most gorgeously illustrated of the series so far. I was completely enthralled to see Anne's story told in such a frank and beautiful manner.

Another lovely addition to the Little People, Big Dreams series! The illustrations are quite different from previous books in this series but are absolutely beautiful, enhancing the brief story of the life of Anne Frank. Anne's diary captured my heart as a young girl and this story is the perfect introduction for young/emerging readers to learn about her short life and the impact she left on the world.
Thanks to Frances Lincoln Publishers and NetGalley for providing an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I love this series overall, but I didn't feel this was the strongest entry. The author brushed over the horrors of concentration camps a bit (to make it less upsetting for the intended audience aka kids), and that is such an important part of Anne's history.
