Ayrton Senna (Volume 49) (Little People, BIG DREAMS, 50)

This is one of my sons favorite books!

'Ayrton Senna' by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara with illustrations by Alex G. Griffiths is a biography of a person who liked to drive fast, and who is, tragically, no longer with us.When he was only four, Ayrton Senna's father gave him a go-kart. There was no looking back. Ayrton liked to go fast and he liked to win. That led him to a career as a Formula One driver. He was also concerned with safety for himself and other drivers.I'm not a fan of Formula One, so I was not familiar with Ayrton Senna or his accomplishments. As with other books in this series, there is a unique artist for each, and Alex G. Griffiths does a great job illustrating a young boy who liked to go fast.I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Children's Books, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

Amazing book. High quality and is faithful to the real story.

I always enjoy and learn something from the titles in this excellent children’s series. This time, I became acquainted with Ayrton Senna, someone who was not familiar to me.Ayrton Senna was a child who needed to be on the go and this took him to go karting. He was an amazing racer and eventually moved on to racing cars, moving from South America to England to achieve his dream.Young readers can be inspired by Ayrton; not only did he win but he cared about others and the safety of his sport. He was another little person who achieved a big dream.This is another good entry in a good series. It is illustrated in a cartoon like and appealing fashion that goes well with the text.

I've only read a few, but I love the Little People, Big Dreams series. I could see it being so inspiring for young people, especially since it explores the lives of prominent people from all walks of life. This one is about a Brazilian race car driver. It depicts his love of cars and racing from a young age as well as shows different moments from his adult life, including big wins. Tragically, he died in a crash at not quite 35 years of age. After the picture book portion, the author shares photos of the real man and more details of his story.I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.

Another great book in this series! An inspirational brief biography about the legendary Formula One race driver, Ayrton Senna. I loved learning about Senna's childhood and his determination and focus he brought to racing and making his sport safer.Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC.

me encantó, lo recomiendo!

Maravilhoso. Da vontade de ter todos da série, mas fica meio caro.

Great series of books

My boy loves racing cars and he has really connected with this book. They have done a really good job at telling his story age appropriately

I have quite a few from this collection and like all the others, this one does not disappoint. The story of his life is written well for little ones and the illustrations are great. My daughters and Son love it .
