Shakira: International Music Star

(4) K-3 Big Buddy Biographies series. These brief, formulaic biographies introduce young fans to each celebrity's life and career, from "family ties" to fame to a bright future. The plain text is heavily templated (each celebrity, for example, "likes to help others") and light on groundbreaking information (Marano "likes to eat home-cooked meals") but accessible to reluctant readers. The colorful, star-studded layouts showcase clear, full-page stock photos. There are four other spring 2015 books in this series. Glos., ind. Review covers these Big Buddy Biographies titles: Daft Punk, Laura Marano, Lorde, and Shakira.
