The Goddess of Pop: Born Cherilyn Sarkisian on 20 May 1946, Cher is one of the most iconic entertainers in history — a singer, actress, and cultural trailblazer whose career has spanned more than six decades.

Sonny & Cher: Cher first rose to fame in the 1960s alongside her then-husband Sonny Bono as the duo Sonny & Cher, scoring international hits and becoming household names through their popular television variety series The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour.

Solo Superstardom: After her partnership with Sonny ended, Cher reinvented herself as a solo artist, achieving massive chart success with anthems like "If I Could Turn Back Time," "Believe," and "Strong Enough." Her 1998 single "Believe" is widely credited with popularising the use of Auto-Tune as a creative effect.

Oscar Winner: Cher proved herself an equally formidable actress, winning the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in Moonstruck (1987) — adding an Oscar to an already extraordinary list of achievements.

Never Staying Down: Throughout her life, Cher has faced setbacks and reinvented herself time and again, becoming a symbol of resilience, individuality, and fearless self-expression for fans around the world.

Revolutionary Beginning: When Little Golden Books were first published in 1942, high-quality books for children hadn't been available at a price most people could afford. Little Golden Books changed that! Priced at just 25 cents and sold where people shopped every day, they caused an instant sensation and were soon purchased by the hundreds of thousands.

Influential Illustrators: Several of its illustrators later became influential within the children's book industry, including Corinne Malvern, Tibor Gergely, Gustaf Tenggren, Feodor Rojankovsky, Richard Scarry, Eloise Wilkin, and Garth Williams.

Diverse Content: Many books in the Little Golden Books series deal with nature, science, Bible stories, nursery rhymes, and fairy tales. Christmas titles are published every year.

Popular Characters: Some Little Golden Books and related products have featured popular characters from other media, such as Disney, Looney Tunes, The Muppets, Sesame Street, Sonic the Hedgehog, Barbie, Power Rangers, Thomas the Tank Engine, and others.

Biography Series: The line has also published occasional biographies; recent examples include Betty White, Dolly Parton, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Michael J. Fox, Michelle Yeoh, and Rihanna, bringing inspiring life stories to young readers.

Original Partnership: The series started with publishing firm Simon & Schuster; Western Printing and Lithographing Company in Racine, Wisconsin was Simon & Schuster's partner in the Little Golden Books venture, with Western handling print operations. Ownership and control of the series have changed several times since; today, Penguin Random House is its current publisher.

Consistent Quality: Despite the changes of detail that occurred over the years, the Little Golden Books maintains a distinctive appearance. A copy of The Poky Little Puppy bought today is essentially the same as one printed in 1942. Both are readily recognisable as Little Golden Books. At the time of the series' golden anniversary in 1992, Golden Books claimed that a billion and a half Little Golden Books had been sold.
