This picture book biography of Beatrix Potter is suitable for the youngest readers and focuses primarily on Potter's interest in nature and her work with conservation later in life.
Thoughts: I've been a fan of Beatrix Potter for years. When I read Beatrix Potter: A Life in Nature by Linda Lear I realized how much more Potter was than an author and illustrator. She was an entrepreneur and a conservationist. I like that this biography for children explores her conservation work. The illustrations are lovely. I think Potter would have liked them.
If you find yourself more interested in Beatrix Potter after reading this book, you might check out my Beatrix Potter Reading Project that I undertook in 2010 and 2011.
