Taylor Swift, perhaps the most popular musician of all time, joins the ranks of this New York Times bestselling Ordinary People Change the World picture book biography series about heroes, for ages 5 to 9.

Her whole life, Taylor Swift has loved to sing and perform, and as she listened to her favorite country musicians as a child, she found her calling: to write and record her own songs. It may have looked like the teenage Taylor was an overnight success, but she had to work hard at her craft and hear plenty of no's along the way. Still, by the time she graduated high school she had won her first Country Music Award. Three years later, her first of many Grammys. And soon she was taking the stage worldwide in the bestselling series of concerts in history: the Eras tour. What's the key to Taylor's success? Staying true to herself and sharing her heart with her fans.

This friendly, fun biography series inspired the PBS Kids TV show Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum. One great role model at a time, these books encourage kids to dream big.
