Audrey Hepburn: More Than an Icon…

I received product in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.

While Audrey Hepburn may have passed away over 20 years now, her spirit and determination lives on. Many of us know her for her Hollywood career but she was also a humanitarian and a grew up during World War II. Honestly, I had no idea anything about her other than Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

My 9-year-old is doing a biography project in school and while researching for who to choose it sparked me to look into documentaries for myself to read or even watch. I decided 2021 will be the year I learn more about history and important figures.

Did you know that Audrey Hepburn’s son and duaghter-in-law just released a book for kids inspired by his mom? There is also a new documentary about Audrey’s life that just came out.

Little Audrey’s Daydream: The Life of Audrey Hepburn

Meet Audrey Hepburn as you’ve never seen her before in Little Audrey’s Daydream: The Life of Audrey Hepburn, an empowering children’s book by her son and daughter-in-law, Sean and Karin Hepburn Ferrer.

Little Audrey’s Daydream tells the story of Audrey Hepburn’s life from her own perspective as a child growing up in Belgium and Holland, and into her adult life as an actress, mother, and humanitarian.

A beautiful, personal introduction to the life of Audrey Hepburn: Audrey’s extraordinary story unfolds during her childhood in Holland, where her happy life of ice-skating and dancing changes with the harsh realities of World War II. As she daydreams about who she will become when the war ends, her real-life story of fame, family, and charity work unfolds.

A beacon of hope for children during difficult times: Facing dire circumstances during Occupation, Audrey and her family often don’t have enough to eat. Despite the challenges, Audrey never loses hope that, with spirit and determination, her dreams can still come true.

All author proceeds will be donated to EURORDIS: Following in the footsteps of his mother’s incredible humanitarian legacy, Sean Hepburn Ferrer and his wife Karen are donating all of their author proceeds from the book to EURORDIS, the Voice of Rare Disease Patients in Europe.

Whimsical illustration by celebrated French couple: Little Audrey’s Daydream is beautifully illustrated by the legendary Dominique Corbasson and Francois Avril. This book is Corbasson’s last work.

The definitive feature documentary on Audrey Hepburn: Hollywood star, fashion icon and humanitarian.

Audrey Hepburn won her first Academy Award at the age of 24, and went on to become one of the world’s greatest cultural icons: a once-in-a-generation beauty, and legendary star of Hollywood’s Golden Age, whose style and pioneering collaboration with Hubert de Givenchy continues to inspire. But who was the real Audrey Hepburn?

Malnourished as a child, abandoned by her father, and growing up under Nazi occupation in Holland, Hepburn faced a life-long battle with the traumas of her past, which thwarted her dreams of becoming a ballet dancer, and cast a shadow over her personal life. Yet she found inner peace, using her superstardom for good as a global ambassador for UNICEF, and bringing her life full circle: first a victim of war, then a source of relief to millions.

A hybrid of rare archive, cinematic dance sequences, and intimate interviews with those who knew her best, this film brings a truly extraordinary woman to life, who stands as testament to the power of love and forgiveness.
