Today Is the Birthdate of Laura Ingalls Wilder

Monday February 7, 2005
Laura Ingalls Wilder was born on February 7, 1867. Her Little House series about life as a pioneer girl began with the publication of "Little House in the Big Woods" in 1932. Historian William Anderson, a Wilder scholar, has written several biographies of Laura Ingalls Wilder for children. For my favorites, see my Top Picks of Biographies of Laura Ingalls Wilder. Did you read the Little House books when you were a child? Join the discussion on the About Children's Books Forum.
