An 8 year old who is constantly singing around the house or practicing dance moves in their room, and who needs to see that even big stars started out exactly where they are: in local plays and school shows.
This book is safe to be read cold. It is a highly sanitized, age appropriate look at a pop star whose off-stage life or later music might contain more mature themes than what is presented in this Capstone edition. A parent might choose this after hearing their child say, "I want to be famous," using it as a tool to discuss the years of practice and the various steps involved in building a career.
A 6 year old will enjoy the vibrant photography and the simple concept of a girl following her dreams. A 9 year old will better grasp the timeline of her career and the distinction between her different roles as an actress versus a singer.
