Little People, Big Dreams: Elvis Presley - Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara

This little biography of Elvis Presley tells the inspiring tale of the iconic musician and King of Rock 'n' Roll.

Elvis was born into poverty in North Mississippi, but he felt that someday, somehow, something amazing would happen. When he sang in a school talent show, he realised that singing was all he wanted to do with his life.

He had just finished high school when he plucked up the courage to walk through the doors of Sun Studios, ready to record his first song. After this came hit after hit, and he popularised a new genre of music – Rock 'n' Roll – and became a beloved musical icon whose influence is still felt today.

Little People Big Dreams series portrays the inspiring lives of artists, designers, activists and scientists in a super-accessible way with sweet illustrations and by focusing on when they started out as children with a dream. Each book has a biographical timeline with historical photographs and extra facts, too.
