Summary

A stunning picture-book tribute to one of America’s most beloved fashion, cinematic, and philanthropic icons—Audrey Hepburn

When Audrey Hepburn starred in a movie, she lit up the screen. Her unique sense of fashion, her grace, and, most important, her spirit made her beloved by generations. But her life offscreen was even more luminous. As a little girl growing up in Nazi-occupied Europe, she learned early on that true kindness is the greatest measure of a person—and it was a lesson she embodied as she became one of the first actresses to use her celebrity to shine a light on impoverished children throughout the world.

This is Audrey as a little girl, an actress, an icon, an inspiration; this is Audrey just being Audrey.
