Laura Ingalls Wilder's tales of outdoor adventure and pioneer spirit will inspire your students as they have millions of boys and girls for over 70 years.
Born in 1867, Laura Ingalls Wilder traveled across America's rolling plains in the back of a covered wagon. Laura and her family created patchwork quilts that would later help inspire her timehonored books. Laura's quilts still exist today, and their patterns recall her beloved family - her strong and caring Pa, her heroic sister Mary, her warm-hearted Ma - and their adventures as they crossed the wild and often perilous frontier. Join the Ingalls in this adventure (authorized by the Laura Ingalls Estate) as they face the hardships and the triumphs of the wondrous new land.
