ABOUT THIS BOOK: 

As a girl, Laura Ingalls Wilder was always telling stories, just like her Pa.  And she kept telling stories.  Many years later, she decided to write down some of her childhood memories.  This easy-to-read "On My Own" biography captures the story of the brave pioneer girl who grew up to write many books that are still popular today.
