Dive into the life of the accidental fashion icon Iris Apfel in this colourful book, part of the international best-selling Little People Big Dreams series. Written by Maria Isabel Sánchez Vegara and illustrated by Kristen Barnhart.
Growing up in Queens, New York, little Iris was the only child at family events. Her grandmother would open a giant bag of fabric, filled with every colour and pattern, and let her play with fabric scraps. This inspired a lifelong love of fashion. Famous for her eclectic style, built around oversized glasses, bright colours and bold jewellery, Iris was the subject of an exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art when she was just 84 years young.
This series of books send an inspiring message to children of all ages, through accessible story telling and quirky illustrations. Older children will love the extra facts at the back of the book including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of Iris’s colourful life.
These books are aimed at ages 4-7 but we find that younger children still love to read them with an adult. They are perfect as a gift as you can build a collection with all the other inspiring lives in the series.
