A to Z Challenge - Favourite Books - Kate, and others by Jean Little

ate - or any other book by Jean Little.

I'm racking my brains trying to remember which book of hers I read first, and how old I might have been. Possibly From Anna, which I loved, because I was a kid with glasses, too!

Mama's Going to Buy You A Mockingbird is another wonderful book. As are her two autobiographies, Little by Little and Stars Come Out Within. Oh, she's got so many! Little is a very prolific author. It was partly through her that I discovered the Dear Canada series of books (from Scholastic!): "The Dear Canada series invites readers into the intimate worlds of girls throughout different times in Canadian history. The ongoing series showcases Canada's most distinguished children's authors who recreate some of the most dramatic events from our diverse history."

They're also finally starting to come out with a series for boys. I hope Jean Little writes from that point of view as well!
