Dear Educator,
Welcome to the exciting world of Little House. Laura Ingalls Wilder's nine classic Little House books, five of which received the distinguished Newbery Honor award, have been cherished by millions of readers around the world for their endearing portrayal of Laura Ingalls and her remarkable pioneer childhood. Although her books are historical fiction, Wilder brought to life her family's real-life adventures, challenges and triumphs on the American frontier.
New Little House fans of all ages can read about the experiences of four other generations of pioneer girls from Laura's family: Laura's great-grandmother Martha, who made a daring journey from Scotland to America as a young woman; Laura's grandmother Charlotte, a city girl who grew up near Boston before moving to the western frontier; Caroline, Laura's ma, who lived her life on the frontier; and finally, Laura's daughter, Rose, a new kind of pioneer, who brings the girls' story into the twentieth century. All these characters are based on the lives of Laura's real family.
We hope you and your students will enjoy a journey in time, uncovering the exciting adventures of five generations of unforgettable pioneer girls and their families.
Sincerely,
HarperCollins Children's Books
