Reviews
"McDowell commemorates the 150th birthday of Laura Ingalls Wilder with a captivating look at the beloved Little House on the Prairie author's relationship with nature. . . . McDowell's warm descriptions of the author, her times, and the plants she loved provide a wonderful companion to Wilder's books, while instructions on growing a Little House-inspired garden add an interactive component. Gardeners, botanists, and fans of Wilder will love this book." -- Publishers Weekly, Winner of the Garden Writers Association 2018 Silver Medal of Achievement "This well-researched, sweeping book details the life of Laura Ingalls Wilder and those who came before her. It is clear that the different landscapes shaped them, particularly Laura and ''Pa.'' The original are of Garth Williams and Helen Sewell deepens the poignancy and power of Laura''s prairie, since today only one percent of it survives. Laura''s work has preserved it for us. This book preserves it for us." --Patricia MacLachlan, author of Sarah, Plain and Tall , winner of the Newbery Medal "Lavishly illustrated with photographs, drawings, maps, and, notably, a selection of Helen Sewell and Garth Williams'' illustrations from the Little House books. . . . the book is a feast of opportunity for dedicated Wilder fans and enthusiastic gardeners everywhere." -- Booklist "McDowell commemorates the 150th birthday of Laura Ingalls Wilder with a captivating look at the beloved Little House on the Prairie author''s relationship with nature. . . .

"[With] historical maps, photographs, botanical drawings, original illustrations by Helen Sewell and Garth Williams, and the ample descriptions of scenery in the series. . .
