From the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of Shakira, the world's most popular Latin American singer.

As a child, little Shakira knew she was born to be a performer. Even as a little girl, she was full of natural rhythm and was obsessed with singing, writing songs, and dancing whenever she got the opportunity. At 14 years old, she recorded her first album, and although it wasn't a success, she knew she had found her calling. She persevered, and within four years she finally had her first hit!

She soon became a Latin American icon, winning many awards and creating global hits across the world, becoming widely known as the Queen of Latin Music. With her fame, Shakira started a foundation to help children in her native country, Colombia, and other developing countries across the world, providing them with education and the chance of a better future.

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 iconic singer's life.
