I love the Little People, Big Dreams series! The text is written at a great level for my students to engage them without being too much for them to comprehend, and I just adore the illustrations in the books! The L.M. Montgomery book was just wonderful. I really appreciate that the series includes lesser-known people who still deserve their time in the spotlight. My biography lovers will really enjoy seeing this in the library! Thank you, NetGalley, for the ARC!

I love this book. Everything about it is wonderful It has good illustrations and a fantastic story. If you are a fan of L.M. Montgomery's work and Anne of Green Gables you will enjoy this book. It is nice for younger readers, but any fan of the author or her wonderful Anne character will enjoy this story. I recommend it. This is a wonderful book and another great book provided in this series about great people in history.

I so wish these books had been around when I was younger. This was so fun and interesting to read and the art style will keep younger readers infatuated.

(General series review) These are fabulous stories about great women and men in history (for the most part). The illustrations are so amazing, both for kids and adults. There is a brief history on the person that explains how this person contributed to history and matters. Being a huge fan of Lucy Maud Montgomery, this is one book I will definitely be buying in physical form.

Another in this fantastic series teaching both kids and adults alike about the many amazing women out there, and that you should always be willing to chase your dreams. This one did have special meaning for me, being a big fan of L. M. Montgomery. Whilst there were parts of her life glossed over (for the young audience), it’s great to see a new generation being taught about such a wonderful author.

Part of an already lovely series of Little People Big Dreams, this entry about L. M. Montgomery is excellent. Maud’s story is told in a way accessible for young children, highlighting some of her similarities with her eventual star character of Anne of Green Gables. The accompanying art brings the story to life.
I will be recommending this to my library's children's materials selector.

Little People, Big Dreams is such a lovely series and this latest edition, L.M. Montgomery, does not disappoint. Though I’ve not read any of her work (gasp!), I used to watch the original tv series starring Megan Follows (who will always, always be Anne to me!), so Anne of Green Gables is near and dear to my heart.

Aside from highlighting the life and accomplishments of an esteemed female author, I love this book because it might inspire some more children to read her stories. In fact, I’m now inspired not only to go back and re-watch the original tv series, but to finally read the series. But I digress…

As an adult and avid reader, I’m always excited to learn more about the lives of authors. Once again, I learned a great deal about L.M. Montgomery while reading this book. However, what is particularly pertinent for children is her persistence and positive attitude. Despite a less than stellar childhood, she found a way to make herself happy and tenaciously pursued her dreams. That’s an example we can all learn from.

A beautiful edition to the Little People, Big Dreams series. It's lovely to read about L.M. Montgomery's life and inspirations for writing, especially if you loved Anne of Green Gables as a kid!

Thank you Netgalley & Frances Lincoln Children's Books for a advanced copy of this book.

This book is a part of a series being done about successful women in history. As a Canadian I'm very excited to see Lucy Maud Montgomery included. The author of Anne of Green Gables is a huge part of Canadian history (especially in getting Prince Edward Island (PEI) on the map). Additionally Montgomery wrote at a time about friendship in a way that had never really been seen.
In fact today I think many writers could benefit from a re-read of Montgomery's many works in Anne's universe to be reminded of how to write a story that doesn't focus entirely on a love story.
This cute little book is perfect for those who love Anne of Green Gables or as an introduction to Montgomery and her wonderful series. Afterall most of Anne's stories are those of Montgomery herself (as you will learn in this book).

Please note: I received an eARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is an honest and unbiased review.

This series never disappoints and the life of L.M. Montgomery was no exception. Giving children real life heroes to learn about and be inspired by is a perfect way to have quality non-fiction in your classroom or home. The engaging and fun illustrations make the book way to read. The simple text makes the book accessible for very young readers. The combination of the two makes for a perfect read. The joy the book about Montgomery brought was that it showed that being a writer is a real job.

This is another brilliant addition to this series – even as an adult I look out for the next book in the series being released. I love the images in this series and this is a delightful introduction to Lucy Montgomery.

They are excellent introductions to some of the well-known, and less well-known, characters that have had a great impact in our lives through a variety of subjects such as literature, women’s rights and science.

5 stars from me for this one – a delightful read and one I will be highly recommending!!

The perfect introduction to the beloved author of Anne of Green Gables! This series is one of the best out there. I love how it highlights influential women.

Another brilliantly simple introduction to a famous woman who made her mark on history. Aside from knowing of Anne of Green Gables I knew very little of the author. This colourful Andy brief account of her life told me much of what I needed to know, including where the idea for The character of Anne came from.

Like other books in the series, Lucy Maude Montgomery first gives a story-style biography of the important points in the author’s life and is followed by a Slightly padded out ‘adult’ biography with photographs of the author. There were then some ideas of what to read, and even visit next to find out more.

This series is brilliant and I’ll be recommending the specific books to an child who expresses an interest in subjects associated with the figures depicted in the books.

I am so glad this book series exists. The illustrations are gorgeous and they are such an easy and fun way to get very young children interested in history early on while inspiring them with stories of little people who have changed the world in their own ways.

Great picture book for children with simple words for them to understand. I love this series and will be checkin other books.

Another fabulous entry into the Little People Big Dreams series. This is now unquestionably a must have for primary school libraries. The whole series is bright, colourful and interesting. This little look into the life and work of Lucy Maud Montgomery is lovingly put together and gives just enough depth to inform without going overboard and boring young readers. This is an unusual person to focus on as her work isn't exactly something all children are likely to be aware of. However, this book serves as away of introducing or furthering a possible look at Anne of Green Gables, or as a standalone look at one of the great female writers of the last century.

A worthy edition to an already excellent little series.

I loved this story about the birth of Anne of Green Gables. To think that L. M. Montgomery was envisioning her own wanted life when she created that precocious little girl. And while it sits firmly as a classic today, that once it was rejected by 14 publishers. This book is not rejected. It a fun and fascinating look at the life of a woman who brought special life to another through the written word.

Absolutely adorable entry in this lovely book series and an inspiration for all little girls out there who dream big, imagine whole new worlds and have a head full of magical ideas. Maud's story shows we can all achieve our dreams no matter our circumstances if we keep pursuing our passions & that is a wonderful lesson to teach young minds!

Rating: 3.5/5

This is the story of a woman who many have not heard of but would know her most famous creation, Anne of Green Gables. I love reading this series of books and find them absolutely gorgeous and a delight to read.
