The Little Books of the Little Brontes {Review}

 

This sweet picture book follows the lives of the four Bronte siblings as they imagine and create books together.  Although they've had their share of sadness after loosing their mother and two sisters, the children live in a wide world of stores and poetry, novels and ponderings.  And when Branwell is gifted a box of toy soldiers, the children embark on a writing adventure that will last them all a lifetime.

The illustrations in this books are beautiful and add to the overall mood of the story.  There's additional information in the back including a time line and a paper craft for creating your own book.  The story is sweet and shows the resilience of the siblings.  But other than that, it doesn't contain a lot of depth.  This is a very brief introduction to the Bronte family and may not mean much to a younger audience.
