Beyonce was quiet as a child but always enjoyed singing and dancing. At a young age, she went to see a concert, and from that moment on, she felt inspired to perform. She loved putting on shows for the people having their hair cut in her mums salon, but knew she was destined for a bigger audience. After winning a local talent show, Beyonce joined the newly formed girl group Girls Tyme.

Sasha Fierce, Lemonade and Renaissance. She has received the most grammy nominations of any artist in history and is now one of the most influential people in the world. As well as being a performer, she is a mother, businesswoman, philanthropist and role model for all those who want to reach for the stars. This powerful book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the performers life.
