Little People, Big Dreams | Elvis Presley
In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy, best-selling Little People, Big Dreams series, discover the life of Elvis, the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll.
Elvis was born into poverty in North Mississippi, where opportunities were rare. Still, he felt that someday, somehow, something amazing would happen. When he sang in a school talent show, he realized that singing was all he wanted to do with his life.
He had just finished high school when he plucked up the courage and walked through the doors of Sun Studio, ready to record his first song. After this came hit after hit, and he popularized a new genre of music that mixed all kinds of different styles. That genre was rock ‘n’ roll, and it would take the world by storm!
All the great artists that have come after him still look up to Elvis, the
King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, the unique and irreplaceable artist who changed the course of music history. 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 music legend’s life.
