Ella Fitzgerald: Små mennesker, store drømmer

My daughter loves music, so this book about Ella’s early days singing on the street really captured her imagination. The illustrations are lovely and the story is inspiring without being too heavy for a young child.

The illustrations really capture Ella's spirit, and the timeline at the back helped my daughter understand her place in music history. It's a perfect introduction to jazz for young kids.

My six-year-old asked to read it three times in a row last night, and I didn't mind one bit. The way it weaves her street-singing start into the story of her rise feels both honest and inspiring for a kid's biography.
