**The multimillion-copy bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series**

Discover the life of Elvis Presley, the King of Rock 'n' Roll, told in an inspiring biography for kids!

Born into poverty in North Mississippi, Elvis grew up in a world where opportunities were few and far between. Yet he never stopped believing that, somehow, something extraordinary was waiting for him. When he performed in a school talent show, he discovered his true passion and knew that singing was what he wanted to do with his life.

Shortly after graduating from high school, Elvis found the courage to walk through the doors of Sun Studio and record his very first song. What followed was a string of hit records that captivated audiences around the world. Blending musical styles in a bold new way, he helped popularise a revolutionary genre: Rock 'n' Roll. Before long, it was taking the world by storm.

Today, artists everywhere still look up to the boy from Mississippi who became the King of Rock 'n' Roll. With his unforgettable voice, electrifying performances and groundbreaking music, Elvis changed the course of music history forever.
