A really simple but complete biography about one of my favourite childhood authors. My 9 year old enjoyed the collage-like illustrations & finding the little details.
As for myself, I learnt more about Maud & her early childhood. We'll be moving onto the suggested extra reading - a really nice touch.

This Little People, Big World series is outstanding! I have seen a few Littens on Litsy reviewing these books, and I simply knew I had to check them out. Sadly, my library doesn't have any of the collection... so you can imagine how excited I was to see these books on NetGalley. I have read about 4-5 others on NetGalley, and I simply adore them. The books are short, sweet, and beautifully illustrated. They are colorful, and exciting and they make learning fun for young children. I have always loved Ann of Green Gables, so I simply devoured this one. I hope I can find the whole collection for my nieces and nephews... and maybe one or two of my favourites for myself.

A huge thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I truly appreciate it!

I think of my first favorite book series' was Anne of Green Gables. There was just something so interesting about her story. I didn't know much about the author, L.M. Montgomery so this Little People BIG DREAMS book taught me something new. It makes sense why she would want to escape into the world of writing and why she did such a good job at it with such an early interest and big imagination. I think that kids will love this book and maybe be inspired to read Anne of Green Gables as well.

This books give a little bit of information about the early life of L.M. Montgomery. This is a great book for fans of Montgomery's books. I love the connection it shows between her and Anne. The illustrations are simple and very cute.

This is one of the better entries in this series. The art is cute, and the story is clear and interesting, but simple enough for young kids.

This is a gorgeous little book about the life of Lucy Maud Montgomery, author of Anne of Green Gables. It is aimed at young children, specifically 4-7 year olds. The pictures are delightful with a pretty and imaginative approach and plenty of colour. The story is simple but inspiring and should be suitable for the vast majority of children. It is about a little girl who really wants to be a writer and despite lack of encouragement manages to succeed, rewriting her unhappy childhood through her famous heroine. It encourages perseverance and hard work and is the perfect length for a bedtime story. A charming read.

I love these series about famous people. I learned a lot about this author. I just recently started reading the Anne of Green Gables and love it. She is an amazing writer.

I reviewed this book for Lincoln Children’s Books. It’s part of the Little People, Big Dreams series and tells about the life of L.M. Montgomery.

Lucy Maud Montgomery is best known for her Anne of Green Gables. This Little People book tells the story of her life from early childhood on. Wonderful illustrations accompany the story.

Sweet little book for children to know one of their (and mine) favorite author of all times. the writer who gave life to Ann of the green gables used her own life to shape the story of her most famous heroine.

Piccolo libro per bambini ai quali viene disegnata la vita della creatrice di Anna dai capelli rossi, la cui storia é basata sulla biografia dell'autrice stessa.

THANKS NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

A lovely new installment in the Little People, Big Dreams series. I enjoyed learning about the early life of the author of our beloved Anne of Green Gables. Fans of the Netflix series will be delighted to discover this non-fiction gem.

It was a sweet cute book. It was really interesting read . Anne of Green Gables is one of my favourite books. felt happy to know how the author got the idea for Anne of Green Gables .

I so enjoyed reading this book about one of my favorite authors. It was so fun to read about Lucy Maud's childhood and how it both resembled and inspired the fictional life of our most beloved Anne of Green Gables. The illustrations in this book were adorable and added so much to the book!

This book is adorable. It is a great children's book. It tells the story of L.M. Montgomery and how she became a writer. I like the illistrations and the story. I will be looking at the other books in this series.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley to review.

I love this series of bios of women for girls. The illustrations are fun too. The diversity of the subjects is much-needed in libraries.

I really like the concept of these series of books as they each feature a woman who made a significant contribution to society. The books give a brief history with illustrations of the person featured , in this case author L.M. Montgomery. In my opinion the series best appeals to kids in the 4-7 age range. Some of the women featured in other books include Anne Frank, Rosa Parks, Ella Fitzgerald, Frida Kahlo, and Mother Teresa.

L.M. Montgomery created the iconic character, Anne Shirley, who is so dear to many of us readers. This book provides a little bit of biographic info on the author and her childhood as well as what led to her writing the Anne of Green Gables books. The illustrations are colorful and appealing, other than the grandmother's nose which I thought resembled a pig snout. This is the type of book that is really fun to share with a child as they get to learn about someone who was special to you when you were growing up.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an advance digital copy!

This one covers the author of Anne of Green Gables who also authored many, many other books including sequels. Montgomery had a rather troubled childhood in that her mother died before Montgomery turned two, and her father felt incapable of raising a child. He immediately put her into the care of her maternal grandparents, who were rather cool towards Lucy. When she was seven, her father left to work elsewhere, making Lucy a very lonely child, so she made up imaginary friends and had a rich fantasy life to go with them.

It's this imagination which led her into writing, something she was very interested in from a young age despite some setbacks. When she had Anne of Green Gables published it was such a roaring success that she never looked back, focusing on fulltime writing, at which she was very prolific. This book does an admirable, if slightly fanciful job of depicting this writer's childhood and her determination to succeed, and I commend it as a worthy read for young children. We need serious writers and if this inspires more of them it can only be a good thing.

I love this series of little picture books about famous women. They are all well researched, and for the most part, they are all beautifully illustrated. This is another lovely on, this time on the author of "Anne of Green Gables."

I knew a little about the history of L.M. Montgomery, but I did not know she worked a newspaper. I knew she was raised by her grandparents, but didn't realize that they didn't want her to spend time reading and writing.

Delightful story, and packed with historical facts. Easy for young children to read, and then get interested in this famous woman.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

One of the most adorable and concise biographies from the beautiful series. I hope that Maria continues this important work of teaching young children about important women from herstory.

I always enjoy each of Isabel Sanchez Vegara's Little People books. I especially enjoyed this one having been a fan of Anne Of Green Gables. I was never aware of the circumstances that made up Lucy Maud Montgomery's life so this book was informative to me as an adult, as well as to my child.
