Little People, Big Dreams: Agatha Christie

A brand-new informative and accessible biography series for children, focusing on the world's greatest artists, scientists and designers of all time. It aims to inspire little ones to realise how they went on to achieve incredible things and highlights that they too were young once with big dreams. This title follows the childhood of the greatest crime writer of all time: Agatha Christie, who taught herself to read at the age of five years old.

Maria Isabel Sánchez Vegara, born in Barcelona, Spain, is a writer and creative director in constant search of new concepts for children’s books. In 2014, she created a book for her two twin nieces for their birthday, which shortly thereafter became the first book in the Little People, BIG DREAMS series. This multimillion-copy bestselling series of picture books explores the lives of outstanding people. From Mahatma Gandhi to Aretha Franklin, to Prince, Sánchez Vegara researches complex careers and makes them accessible to young children, with her unique and mindful style of writing. She works with a diverse team of illustrators to make each book lively, eye-catching and motivating. Working for more than fifteen years for clients in top advertising agencies, her books combine creativity with learning, aiming to establish a new and fresh relationship between children and pop culture. ​
