I love Jackie Morris’s introduction about the author of this book's life story. I found it inspiring and heartwarming to learn that it was written by a twelve-year-old girl’s prodigy child.

I understood how the girl's genius captures the natural world's mystery, fantasy, and wonder and expresses it with crystalline words.

From Maria's list on nature and fantasy storytelling for children.
