Aretha Franklin grew up in a family of musicians. Her mother played the piano and sang, while her father, a preacher, led the gospel choir at his church, where Aretha and her four siblings sang as children. Soon, she was discovered by a record label. Whether gospel, jazz, pop, or soul, her songs, which spoke of people's everyday lives and the fight for justice, moved people around the world. Her biggest hit, "Respect," Barack Obama's favorite song, became the anthem of the African American Civil Rights Movement.

Little People, Big Dreams tells the inspiring life stories of great individuals: each of them, whether an artist, pilot, or scientist, achieved the unimaginable. It all began when they were still young: with big dreams.
