For the series Little People Big Dreams, Lincoln Children's Books presents L.M.Montgomery written by M.Isabel Sanchez Vegara Illustrated by Anuska Allepuz.In this beautiful children's book the biography in words and illustrations of the most beloved Canadian writer, the creator of Anne of Green Gables. The biography of Mrs. Lucy Maud is pretty similar to the one of Anne Shirley under many aspects. Lucy Maud suffered of the departure of her mother: constricted to leave Prince Edward Island for a distant land, their grand-parents were pretty grumpy and they didn't believe in the capacities of Maud and in reading and writing. But, stubborn, Lucy Maud insisted.
She became a teacher and she taught, so that she could live, earning money and at the same time continuing to write.
Maud became not just a writer, a journalist and a teacher but a lady in grade to present a fascinating beautiful example of life: through her eyes we experience what it means to remain a beautiful soul although the sufferance lived in first person. Adversities, teaches Mrs. Lucy Maud - and Anne Shirley - fortifies the soul and keep people more beauty inside.
