A bright biography of the singer from his early days as Reginald Kenneth to his superstardom as Elton John, including his collaboration with lyricist Bernie Taupin, extravagant costumes, work to combat HIV and AIDS, marriage to David Furnish (and their two kids), and more. His passion for music and his hard work to achieve his dreams will inspire many readers. Beer’s illustrations are as colorful as the singer himself, and the gold-spangled cover is sure to delight. Parents may need to explain what a drag queen is when the book tells us that the singer had “the most amazing wardrobe a drag queen would long for,” but chances are that won’t be too difficult for much of the book’s audience. Photos and facts at the end offer more details for older readers and adults.
