Cute book with lovely illustrations. I thought it might work for my kindergarten class when studying biographies but not the right fit. Book was a little long and kids were not engaged with the story.

Classy. But how can you make a book about Audrey that isn't? ( )

Just Being Audrey by Margaret Cardillo (and illustrated by Julia Denos) is an adorable children's biography of film star and human rigts activist Audrey Hepburn. In a scant 32 pages, Cardillo presents the life of Audrey Hepburn as a collection of qualities that children should strive to achieve--hard work; kindness; helping others; and self-acceptance. The illustrations are soft-colored and almost dreamlike. It is a beautiful book for every Audrey Hepburn fan (like myself) to own or a beautiful book to gift every children who ever felt as though they were too awkward (or untalented0 to fit in. ( )

I am a huge fan of Audrey Hepburn so I knew that when I saw this book on Early Review, I had to try to get it.

I loved the way the book is written and think that even if you aren't an Audrey Hepburn fan, any young girl will love this story of her life. ( )

Just Being Audrey tells the story of the famous actress Audrey Hepburn. As a little girl, she grew up in Nazi occupied Europe and eventually made it all the way to Hollywood. Her sense of fashion, grace and kindness made her loved by generations. I enjoyed reading this book because it showed a different side of Audrey that I did not know about. I learned through reading that she was an active UNICEF member and fought for children all over the world. She is much more than a fashion icon and a pretty face. I believe this would be a good addition to any library because it tell the story of a young girl working hard and achieving her dreams. ( )
