Beyonce was quiet as a child but always enjoyed singing and dancing. She loved putting on shows for people having their hair cut in her mum's salon, but knew she was destined for a bigger audience. After winning a local talent show, she joined a new girl group, Girls Tyme. The band eventually became Destiny's Child and shot to stardom – but even greater success came when Beyonce started performing on her own. Features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with photos and a detailed profile.
