The inspiring true story of Harper Lee, the girl who grew up to
write To Kill a Mockingbird, from Bethany Hegedus and Erin McGuire.

picture book is an excellent choice to share during homeschooling,
in particular for children ages 4 to 6. It's a fun way to learn to
read and as a supplement for activity books for children. Nelle
Harper Lee grew up in the rocky red soil of Monroeville, Alabama.
From the get-go she was a spitfire. Unlike most girls at that time
and place, Nelle preferred overalls to dresses and climbing trees
to tea parties. Nelle loved to watch her daddy try cases in the
courtroom. And she and her best friend, Tru, devoured books and
wrote stories of their own. More than anything Nelle loved words.
This love eventually took her all the way to New York City, where
she dreamed of becoming a writer. Any chance she had, Nelle sat at
her typewriter, writing, revising, and chasing her dream. Nelle
wouldn't give up-not until she discovered the right story, the one
she was born to tell. Finally, that story came to her, and Nelle,
inspired by her childhood, penned To Kill a Mockingbird. A
groundbreaking book about small-town injustice that has sold over
forty million copies, Nelle's novel resonated with readers the
world over, who, through reading, learned what it was like to climb
into someone else's skin and walk around in it.
