This boxed gift set of three hardback books from the internationally bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series introduces little dreamers to the lives of these incredible authors who changed the world. In these remarkable true stories, learn how three women dealt with hardship and achieved great success in writing.

Maya Angelou, despite being mute as a child, went on to find her voice and become one of the most beloved writers and speakers of the twentieth century. Anne Frank's famous diary captured the hearts and minds of the public after World War Two. Jane Austen, after growing up with low expectations, went on to write timeless novels about brave women who made their own choices and never gave up.

Each of these moving books features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the woman'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. 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.

Also available to collect are the boxed gift sets: Women in Science (Little People, BIG DREAMS Box Set), which includes hardback editions of Ada Lovelace, Amelia Earhart, and Marie Curie; Women in Arts (Little People, BIG DREAMS Box Set), which includes hardback editions of Coco Chanel, Audrey Hepburn, and Frida Kahlo.
