Growing Up As...Taylor Swift is the uplifting biography of a girl who grew up on a Christmas tree farm and became one of the most beloved musical artists of all time.

In middle school, Taylor was bullied and ostracized by her schoolmates because they were jealous of her early success. Yet young Taylor never stopped doing what she loved: singing!

Taylor wrote her first song when she was twelve. At thirteen she landed a record deal. At fourteen she became the youngest songwriter at Sony Records. At sixteen she recorded her first hit song.

Growing Up As...Taylor Swift reminds children that dreams really can come true if you believe in yourself and never stop doing what brings you joy.

Growing Up As...Taylor Swift is the debut book in the series WHEN THEY WERE KIDS. In this biography series, middle school readers will delve into the childhoods of their heroes, both contemporary and historical icons, with each book focusing almost exclusively on the subject's younger, formative years. Each book features original artwork on the cover and in each chapter.

No other biography series is quite like it! And it all begins with Taylor Swift...
