Reviews

"A gem of a biography made special because it is based on an interview with the author."

Irving Independent School District, June 2, 2012

". . . numerous photos, many from the authors' own collections, bring a more personal perspective to the figures."

The Horn Book Guide, Spring 2009

"These attractive books are based on personal interviews with the featured writers . . . Well written, interesting, and useful for reports, these biographies are solid choices."

School Library Journal, November 2008

"This interesting and informative book presents a fairly detailed look at her childhood, education, and family life as well as her writing. Crisply written, it is filled with personal information, first-person quotations, and informative sidebars, as well as color photographs and offers a glimpse into her life that will appeal to both elementary and middle school readers."
