Synopsis

Learn about inspiring story of Beatrix Potter, the legendary author, illustrator and protector of nature. 
 
During her childhood in London, little Beatrix loved to draw. She drew everything she came across, and particularly loved drawing animals and other things that she spotted in the natural world around her.  

As an adult, she began writing and drawing her own stories, and she created a story about a naughty little rabbit named Peter. That story, which she decided to publish with her own money, became The Tale of Peter Rabbit, which today is a true classic.

She went on to create other beloved animal characters, such as Jemima Puddle-Duck and Mrs Tiggy-Winkle, enchanting readers with her timeless tales set in the English countryside. Her beautifully illustrated stories, filled with mischief and adventure, inspire readers with a love of nature and storytelling. Beyond her writing, Beatrix was a pioneering conservationist, preserving much of the Lake District for future generations.

Her story, of self-belief and perseverance, is a reminder that we should always follow our dreams, and that everyone has a story to tell.

This powerful book features quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the author’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.
 
This empowering series of books offers inspiring messages to children of all ages, in a range of formats. The hardback versions present expanded stories for beginning readers. With rewritten text for older children, the treasuries each bring together a multitude of dreamers in a single volume. You can also collect a selection of the books by theme in boxed gift sets. Activity books and a journal provide even more ways to make the lives of these role models accessible to children.
