Audrey Hepburn: A Little Golden Book Biography

Introduce young readers to Audrey Hepburn — the Medal of Freedom recipient, UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, fashion icon, and Hollywood star — in this colorful Little Golden Book biography! Audrey discovered a love for dance as a child in a private school in England, but when Britain declared war on Germany during World War II, her mother brought her to the Netherlands, hoping to keep her safe. Instead, when Germany invaded, she conducted silent dance recitals to raise money for the resistance. After the war, she acted in London's West End and on Broadway in New York. Her big break in Hollywood was in Roman Holiday, and soon she was a star!

But Hepburn remembered how much humanitarian aid had helped her after the war, and she wanted to use her fame for good. So after she retired from acting, she devoted herself to charitable causes. As a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, she drew attention to food aid for famines, medical aid campaigns, and much more. Told in the beloved Little Golden Book format, this picture book biography captures all of the things that made Audrey Hepburn such an iconic figure around the world.
