I received this book from Edelweiss/the publisher in exchange of an honest review.

Another new Little People Big Dreams book! I really love this series and getting to know people or getting to know more about them. That last part is for Oprah Winfrey. I used to see her on TV at times when I was younger and still watched TV (or well more than I do know, haha). But I don’t know much about her, so when I saw this book up on Edelweiss? I had to request it!

In this one we learn of Oprah and how she became the Oprah we all know now. From how she learned to read at age 3 and loved talking to her animals to reciting at church to her big love of reading and telling stories and listening to people which eventually led to her own studio and show. Of course there were also harsh moments that the book kinda glosses over, like how strict her grandma was or how her mom didn’t have time for her as she had to work long hours. And how she found comfort in reading. I loved reading about her show, and I loved that we got some illustrated photographs about some parts of the show.

I also loved reading about her other accomplishments that aren’t her show. Reading about her opening a school in South Africa. Or how she launched a book club and how she is always trying to get people to read read read and find comfort in that, just like how she found comfort in reading.

I also learned that she is actually called Orpah but everyone kept mispronouncing it so eventually everyone just called her Oprah.

As I said before and I will say it again, I love that the timeline is actually a timeline now with photographs and information!

The illustrations by Sera Latterell were so much fun! I also love the colour they choose as a background for the cover. The yellow just POPS. Love it!

All in all, another inspirational and fun read and I learned so many new things! I would recommend it to all.
