According to the description, the book was written to “help your little one dream big,” plus it makes a fun activity for Swifities who have kids (also a cute Mother’s Day gift for Swiftie moms with younger kids).

Despite being written for children, older Swifties (with and without kids) can also enjoy the book’s inspirational story, adorable illustrations, and nods to Swift’s loyal fan base.
“Taylor also loves sharing things with her fans,” reads another passage from the book. “They know that her lucky number is thirteen. She often hides clues and symbols in her music and videos. For a few of her albums, she surprised special groups of fans by inviting them to secret parties to listen to the album before anyone else. They got to hang out at her house, meet her family – and even bake cookies together!”
Taylor Swift: A Little Golden Biography is part of the Little Golden biography series, which features kid’s books on other stars like Willie Nelson, Beyoncé, Dolly Parton, The Beetles, Tony Bennett, and Bruce Springstein.
As for Swift, the “Anti-Hero” singer is currently on the North American leg of her Eras Tour, which heads into Nashville on Friday, May 5.
