A stunning picture-book tribute to one of America’s most beloved fashion, cinematic, and philanthropic icons—Audrey Hepburn



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.

"Audrey Hepburn proves as irresistible a character in the pages of a children's book as she is in those soigné roles of the silver screen." - Publishers Weekly

This is a beautiful for adults and children alike. I was blown away by the the gorgeous illustrations, in fact I wish they were available as pictures to frame.

This is Audrey Hepburn as a little girl, an actress, an icon, an inspiration; this is Audrey just being Audrey.
