You Are Magic – A Sparkling Introduction to Ariana Grande
You Are Magic feels exactly how Ariana Grande sounds: upbeat, bright, and full of confidence. It shares her journey from theater productions to television to the music stage, while keeping the focus on qualities that matter to children at this age: being yourself, trying new things, practicing your talents, and treating others with care.
One of the standout choices here is how You Are Magic handles the Manchester concert tragedy. Instead of focusing on the frightening details, it highlights Ariana’s compassion and the way she brought people together to heal and support each other. It’s brief, soft, and meaningful and it really shows resilience in a way little readers can handle and understand.
Even if a child reading this isn’t familiar with Ariana yet, the message lands beautifully:
Your passions matter. Your voice matters. There is magic inside you.

is an instant win. But even if it doesn’t I think this story is really about something universal: what it means to grow up with someone, push each other to do better, and stay connected through all the highs and lows.
The Kelce brothers’ story is told with warmth and humor, showing them as siblings who played, competed, annoyed each other (because siblings), but ultimately continued cheering each other on—even when life put them on different teams. The illustrations pop in You Are Brotherly Love with personality, and yes—Travis appears alongside Taylor Swift in one illustration. Kids will notice. Adults will definitely notice.
It’s a book about joy, dedication, and support. A great pick for siblings learning how to be on the same team.
