Help kids answer the age-old question of what they want to be when they grow up with an inspiring story that will encourage them to dream big! 

A new Little Golden Book Biography about Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony-winning actress, singer, and dancer Rita Moreno will be released on Aug. 29, with a Spanish edition called Mi Little Golden Book Sobre Rita Moreno being published simultaneously.  

This read-aloud book, called Rita Moreno: A Little Golden Book Biography, will introduce children to the first Latina to win an Oscar.

Largely known for her award-winning performances in West Side Story and The Muppet Show, Moreno is one of the last remaining actresses from the Golden Age of Hollywood, and her story is perfect for children who love to sing and dance. 

The book comes in a collection of Little Golden Book Biographies that introduces young readers to some of the most iconic names in pop culture, sports, and politics, including more singers and actors such as Dolly Parton, Beyonce, Lucille Ball, Willie Nelson, and more. 

With informative texts and colorful illustrations, these books can be for readers of all ages to dive into.
