Meet the Author: Delve into the life of Laura Ingalls Wilder (1867–1957), who was born in a humble log cabin nestled in the Wisconsin woods. She embarked on an adventurous odyssey with her family across America's heartland during the 1870s and 1880s, eventually settling in Dakota Territory. In 1885, she wed Almanzo Wilder, and their daughter Rose was born the following year. The Wilders established their permanent abode at Rocky Ridge Farm in Mansfield, Missouri, in 1894 after years of farming. Laura penned the first of her adored Little House books in 1932, and these nine timeless tales have become international classics that epitomize the spirit of pioneer life to this day.

Meet the Illustrator: Renée Graef earned her bachelor's degree in art from the University of Wisconsin in Madison. She has beautifully illustrated numerous titles for the Little House publishing program, along with works such as Rodgers and Hammerstein's 'My Favorite Things' and E.T.A. Hoffman's 'The Nutcracker,' adapted by Janet Schulman. Residing in Cedarburg, Wisconsin, with her husband and children, Renée Graef continues to enchant readers with her artistic talents.
