Louisa Learns to Write: Louisa May Alcott Creates Little Women -- Kate Hannigan, Hardcover
Through persistence and hard work, Louisa May Alcott goes from a little girl writing in her "Imagination Book" to the world-renowned author of Little Women. This nonfiction picture book will inspire creativity and spark interest in writing for kids ages 7-10. Louisa May Alcott wrote the beloved classic Little Women, but she started out as just a little girl scribbling in her journal. Born into the middle of a spirited, creative group of sisters, Louisa was always up for exploration, play, dreaming, and creating--the traits that would one day make her a writer. Even when times were hard, Louisa's family held each other close and persevered. So when Louisa dared to write a novel, she wrote about the thing that mattered most to her--family! The four Alcott sisters became the four March sisters in the smashing hit novel Little Women. Award-winning writer Kate Hannigan and illustrator Sofia Moore bring Louisa to life, and she is just as spunky and charming as you'd hope Jo March's creator would be.
