Little House in the Big Woods
Little House in the Big Woods shares a year in the life of three young girls. Growing up on the Wisconsin frontier, these girls need to be resilient. As they help their mother with the daily chores, they enjoy their father’s stories and singing. These three daughters enjoy special occasions when they get together with relatives or neighbors.
- About the Author: Laura Ingalls Wilder (1867–1957) was born in a log cabin in the Wisconsin woods. With her family, she pioneered throughout America’s heartland during the 1870s and 1880s, finally settling in Dakota Territory. She married Almanzo Wilder in 1885; their only daughter, Rose, was born the following year.
- The Wilders moved to Rocky Ridge Farm at Mansfield, Missouri, in 1894, where they established a permanent home. After years of farming, Laura wrote the first of her beloved Little House books in 1932. The nine Little House books are international classics. Her writings live on into the twenty-first century as America’s quintessential pioneer story.
