=Jacket Notes=

At fifteen, Charlotte Church has already lived a celebrated life. A world-famous singer who has sung before the Queen, a president and the Pope, as well as sold millions of albums, charmed TV talk show hosts, and appeared on the covers of dozens of magazines, she has even acted in two top-rated TV shows, home and abroad. (The media's favourite question seems to be "Is that really you singing?") Yet Charlotte, who was the youngest ever to have a debut album on the Billboard charts, still finds time to go to school, get good grades and even go shopping with her friends in her hometown of Cardiff, Wales.

Now you'll go behind the scenes to meet more than just Charlotte the internationally known soprano. You'll get to know Charlotte the daughter of Maria and James Church, who travels everywhere with her mum and dad...the beloved granddaughter of Nan and Bampy, who thrills to her grandfather's stories about the rock band he had when the Beatles first hit the charts....and Charlotte the niece of Caroline Cooper, who still enjoys singing with the aunt she credits as her biggest musical influence.

Charlotte seems like any other teenager, and she is-except for her astonishing voice. She wants her fans to know what she really and to meet her best friends....as well as travel with her on a typical tour and know what it is like to sing with Placido Domingo or ride on a float-in the rain!-in Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

In a voice as down to earth as her singing is angelic, she candidly talks about growing up in the limelight, the valuable lessons she has learned, and her dreams for the future. The young girl the Pope called "the Little Singer" has a lot to share - so far! - Copyright 2001, Charlotte Church, Time Warner
