Synopsis "Bob Marley (Little People, big Dreams, 131)"

Learn about the inspiring story of Bob Marley! The man who moved the world with his music. Little Bob grew up on the sunny, Caribbean Island of Jamaica. Born to a Black mother and white father, life could be difficult, and he was often bullied for the colour of his skin. But Bob didn't let others' unkindness harden his heart, instead he dreamed of a world where everyone felt they belonged. At twelve years old, he moved to Kingston and fell in love with ska--a style of popular music indigenous to Jamaica. Over the next few years he wrote songs, took singing lessons and played as much as he could with his newly formed band, Bob Marley and the Wailers. A year after their first hit single, Bob was introduced to Rastafari, a Jamaican religion and political movement. Driven to spread Rastafari beliefs, Bob and his band began to create Reggae, using their lyrics and melodies to fight for social justice and advocate for peace. Before long, his songs were spreading a message of unity across the world . . . Bob Marley is a cultural icon whose work and message remains evergreen. His story shows the power of music as a force for good and the joy to be found when we open our hearts to others. This powerful book features quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the musician and activist's life. Little People, BIG DREAMS is a bestselling biography series for kids that explores 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 of books 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 hardcover and paperback versions present expanded stories for beginning readers. With rewritten text for older children, the treasuries each bring together a multitude of dreamers in a single volume. You can also collect a selection of the books by theme in boxed gift sets. Activity books and a journal provide even more ways to make the lives of these role models accessible to children.
