This biography was incredible - I had no idea that my favorite children's book was written by a badass lesbian. I felt so close to the author and inspired by her life by the end of this book. I don't understand the reviews saying it should've been shorter. As an artist, I appreciated that the author spent time detailing Louise's struggles with writer's block and feeling inadequate; it puts things in perspective that such an incredible writer could feel this way. Thank you to the author for making Louise's life story come alive.
