Wasn't expecting to cry reading this, but I did. It's a wonderful little book that I'll cherish forever.

My daughter and I read this book together. She really enjoyed it and actually wants to know more about the Brontes now and their stories. It's a very cute little story, and the illustrations are amazing. Very great book for kids.

I received this eARC from NetGalley and the publisher in return for an honest review.
A charming story with charming pictures that centers on the Brontes’ love of books and storytelling from childhood to adulthood. Of interest to the parents/adults reading, there is also a timeline of significant Bronte family events, an author’s note, and a bibliography.

Thank you to Netgalley, the publishers, and Sara O'Leary for allowing me to read and review this book.
I love the idea of children's books featuring authors and books. As someone who was a huge reader in my childhood, I would have loved being able to read about the lives of authors without having to read an entire biography. The pictures are beautiful and the story is well-written and child friendly. It's also interesting/entertaining to read as an adult.
I do not currently have any children, but I definitely plan on buying this book for my future children to read to them.

Thank you to Tundra Books for sending me this ARC. All reviews are honest reflections of my own opinions, always.
In a little house, on a wind swept moor, lived the Bronte children.
Sadness had touched their home, leaving empty spaces and empty chairs, but the Bronte siblings still had one another. Four of them, Charlotte, Emily, Ann, and their brother Branwell. Together they created stories and worlds, and on the desolate moors they found companionship not only with one another, but with the people and adventures they made up.
This little book gives a beautiful overview of the lives of these four children, and the sisters who would change the world of literature and the course of book history. Paired with charming illustrations, the book details mainly the childhood of the Brontes, touching briefly on their all to short adulthood.
I enjoyed the bit of history given at the back of the book, including a very helpful timeline. There's also a cute little section on how to create your own little book, just as the Bronte children had done.
Absolutely recommend to readers both young & young at heart, especially as an introduction the great names that have invented and inspired stories for generations.
