In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy
bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the true
story of Marilyn Monroe, the iconic movie star. Little Norma Jeane
grew up between foster homes, an orphanage, and a family friend's
house - where she was forbidden from watching movies. Through her
difficult childhood and teen years, she dreamed of becoming an
actress. One day a photographer spotted her and gave her a
modelling contract, and from this day she was 'Marilyn Monroe'. She
was much-admired but suffered from pre-performance anxiety, which
was a challenge for her in her career. Her films grossed over $200
million but she was known to have said: 'I don't want to make
money. I just want to be wonderful.' She dazzled a generation with
her inspired performances and unique style and glamour, and her
legacy will live forever as one of the most iconic film actors of
all time. This inspiring book features stylish and quirky
illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical
timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the
star's life. Little People, BIG DREAMS is a bestselling series of
books and educational games that explore 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 offers inspiring messages to
children of all ages, in a range of formats. The board books are
told in simple sentences, perfect for reading aloud to babies and
toddlers. The hardback versions present expanded stories for
beginning readers. Boxed gift sets allow you to collect a selection
of the books by theme. Paper dolls, learning cards, matching games
and other fun learning tools provide even more ways to make the
lives of these role models accessible to children. Inspire the next
generation of outstanding people who will change the world with
Little People, BIG DREAMS!
