Aston Villa legend Brian Little is set to launch his children’s book series, Little Legends, at Knowle British Legion on November 29, 2024, at 7:00 PM. The event aims to bring together young fans, families, and football enthusiasts to celebrate these heartwarming stories inspired by Brian’s own journey to becoming a football player.
Tickets will be available at the door for £5, with free entry for kids. The evening will be hosted by Andy Blair, with Brian himself sharing the story behind Little Legends and the inspiration for his autobiographical series. The series focuses on positive messages for children who are working towards their dreams, emphasizing themes of self-improvement, friendship, and resilience.
The Little Legends box set, priced at £18.99, is tailored for young readers aged three to eight. It includes tales that aim to inspire and entertain, encouraging children to believe in themselves and persevere through challenges. In addition to the books, fans can purchase exclusive Little Legends merchandise, such as Biscuit Brian figures, bobble hats, bookmarks, kids’ football, and T-shirts, on the official website.
Brian shared that the idea for the books came to him about five years ago when he decided to start writing stories inspired by his life as a young boy with big dreams of becoming a footballer. The protagonist, Biscuit Brian, embarks on a journey similar to Brian’s own, from practicing football on the streets to achieving success at Aston Villa as both a player and a manager.
The stories in the series are not just about Brian’s successes but also about the challenges and lessons he learned along the way. He emphasized that the books are a tribute to his family and all those who influenced him in his youth, encouraging children to pursue their passions and never give up on their dreams.
Through chance encounters and personal experiences, Brian found the motivation to complete the stories, honoring his loved ones and sharing valuable life lessons with young readers. He hopes that children will see themselves in Biscuit Brian and be inspired to follow their aspirations, just as he did.
In addition to the book launch event, tour dates for Little Legends will be announced on the official website and Brian Little Official Facebook Page soon, allowing more fans to engage with the series and its inspiring messages. The initiative aims to not only entertain but also educate and empower young readers to believe in themselves and work hard to achieve their goals.
