This book is a great introduction to the world of Audrey Hepburn. I love and adore Audrey and am a fan through and through. This is also a great book because it isn’t very long so you could also read it to a younger sibling but it still covers her whole life which is good. I recommend this book for any age as it is simple but great. Oh and one of the best parts about it Is the illustrations because they are gorgeous just like she was!

From Roman Holiday to Breakfast at Tiffany's, when Audrey Hepburn starred in a movie, she lit up the screen. Her unique sense of fashion, her grace, and, most important, her spirit made her beloved by generations. But her life offscreen was even more luminous. As a little girl growing up in Nazi-occupied Europe, she learned early on that true kindness is the greatest measure of a person—and it was a lesson she embodied as she became one of the first actresses to use her celebrity to shine a light on the impoverished children of the world through her work with UNICEF.
This is Audrey Hepburn as a little girl, an actress, an icon, an inspiration; this is Audrey just being Audrey.
