LOUISA LEARNS TO WRITE written by Kate Hannigan and illustrated by Sofia Moore

AND

BETH IS DEAD written by Katie Bernet

My Louise May Alcott serendipity began with a picture book biography, LOUISA LEARNS TO WRITE (linked here) by Kate Hannigan. With dreamy illustrations by Sofia Moore, author and illustrator describe her evolutionary path from reading to daring to put her ideas forward. My second book embraces all those writerly earmarks as another Kate, Katie Bernet imagines the contemporary world of the famous four sisters in a tension-filled story that fulfills the promise of the title, BETH IS DEAD. You can find links to the book and the multi-cast narrators’ audio below.
