bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of
Iris Apfel, the vivacious (and accidental) fashion icon. 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 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 style icon'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.

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
