A perfect companion to “Chickens, Gin, and a Maine Friendship.” I love Melissa Sweet’s nonfiction for children and this is no exception.

A visually stunning biography of writer E. B. White. The scrapbook-style illustrations/photos and inclusion of a variety of White's poems made it feel homemade in a charming way.

I learned a lot about E.B. White, and had a great time doing it! I loved the way it was written and the illustrations. Definitely recommend.

This was a beautifully told story of a beloved author who lived a quiet, private life. While told for children, this biography holds many details to engage adults as well. The artwork is stunning and appropriate; however, I did find myself struggling on a few pages to focus and glean the intended information.

Wow! I have only turned a few pages, but this book is wonderfully beautiful & creative! I'm impressed!
UPDATE: I was so amazed by this book (just the first chapter) that I decided I must own it. I ordered it. With the help of a co-worker, I decided to return this copy to the library & wait for my copy to arrive before going any deeper.
Such an adorable book! I am now inspired to re-read White's books.

An excellent children's biography (although it is 176 pages, not a short picture book). I loved the artwork and the layout. So creative and perfectly fit. She picked out great stories and quotes, just the right amount of info. A fun read for both the mind and the eyes.

Absolutely brilliant in format and presentation. It made me cry in several places because of the sheer beauty of it and White's words.
