The Little Books of the Little Brontës by Sara O'Leary and Briony May Smith

What a gem of a children's book The Little Books of the Little Brontës by Sara O’Leary and Briony May Smith was. I enjoyed this read so much, I ordered it right away. While illustrations are hard to see on a Kindle, the hardback books illustrations were brilliant. Children could learn a lot about the Brontës just by looking at the illustrations. The story was cute and well done. A nice introduction for children into the Brontës' world on a relatable age level. I also liked that they did not leave out the death of their siblings and mother. While it is a hard topic, it is important and sadly a relatable story for many. The project to make the mini books like the Brontës did was a fantastic touch especially for those families who love to craft, and it would help enforce the story in a fun way. The timeline was helpful for adults and children as they get a little older. At the end I learned a few things that I did not even know about the family which surprised me. I always love to learn something new about people, places, and topics I enjoy. This will be making its way into my children's library for sure. I received a review copy from Penguin Random House Canada through NetGalley. All opinions are 100% my own.
