Steve Jobs // by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara // illustrated by Aura Lewis
In a new installment of Little People, Big Dreams, we get to learn about the life of Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple. I was surprised at how much was packed in this little book that I did not know about him yet. I loved reading about his supportive adoptive parents, his non-traditional course through life, bypassing higher education and showing how important hands-on learning is as well and how it can lead to great success in life. The illustrations by Lewis are very colorful and accompany the text well.

We love the Little People, Big Dreams series! they are such approachable colorful books for kids and they learn about people who have made important contributions to society. Today, the kiddo got to learn about the guy who made his precious iPad possible.
The Steve Jobs installment in the series tells of how Steve was adopted and how even as a kid he liked figuring out how stuff worked but also had a more artistic design-oriented side. The book focused more on the time before he founded Apple, but in general the focus of these books is about how the person grew up and followed their dreams. I recommend this picture book for anyone with kids interested in computers or technology.
Thank you to the publisher and the author for the review copy!

Not my favorite book from this collection, but it's probably because Steve Jobs was such a complex individual that it is hard to capture him in this format.
'Steve Jobs' by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara with illustrations by Aura Lewis is a biography of the famous tech founder told for young readers.
Steve Jobs was adopted and raised in San Francisco. From an early age, he was intrigued by how things were made. He decided that school wasn't for him, so he dropped out and snuck in to classes that interested him. His friend Woz was building a new computer and together they founded a little company called Apple.
I'm usually more enamored of this series, but I found this one to be kind of bland. The illustrations are fine. Perhaps it's because it's a story I know a bit more.

Sometimes I wonder how one man can be so boring. Bro literally just got adopted, lived for a bit, understood that he is creative and kept moving with that. Officially just a dude, who I did not care about even for a bit.
We love all the books in this series. My daughter always seems to choose these over other books. This one was a nice read about the life of Steve Jobs. My 5 year old asked some great questions after reading this book. If you have enjoyed other books in this series I would recommend this one as well!

Once again, Little People, Big Dreams, brings a wonderful biography for the picture book readers. These books make it easy to see how famous people's lives were as they were growing up.
Of course, because it is a picture book, it only touches very lightly on Steve Jobs life, but like all the books in this series, there is hope that this will make kids want to find out more about his life.
