At a young age, Elton John started playing his grandmother’s piano. He had a gift and was able to pick tunes out by ear; soon he took lessons at the Royal Academy. Later he teamed up with Bernie Taupin who helped with lyric writing, and it wasn’t long before Elton John’s name became legendary in the music world. Never afraid to stand out, Elton John’s talent, skills, and individuality has made him one of the all-time greats.

This book, along with others in the Little People, Big Dreams seriesby Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara, is a wonderful way to introduce young audiences to 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.
