Love this! I’ve read the Little House books every few years to my kids, since I have such a wide range of ages. It’s interesting to see what stands out to me each time I cycle through. I loved the story behind the poem!
Joy, have you ever read the historical fiction book "Caroline" by Sarah Miller? I think you'd really love that point of view, it's Little House on the Prairie, retold from Ma's perspective!
I love this so much and also just joined exhale creativity! ♥️ I’ve never considered writing a redacted poem. I love how it could reveal another layer of both the story and yourself!
Welcome to Exhale Amber! I'm so excited to support + cheer on your creativity. I loved this exercise, it was so interesting to understand a beloved children's book from a new angle for me.
I NEED to make the Dakota trip you took recently! Staying in a covered wagon-- dreams come true! Did you see her place in Missouri yet? I enjoyed visiting the rock house + seeing where she wrote all the books, it was such a delight.

I haven’t yet, but I’ve heard a lot about it!
This was so lovely. The little house books are my absolute favorite! Like comfort food!!
Thank you so much Megan, "comfort food" is an apt description!
Another good one Lindsay. Love your pics going thru the process with us as to how to make the redacted poem work.
Can't go wrong with Laura Ingalls Wilder, Mommacita
Thanks Mama, I had a really fun time bringing Little House to life in a new way!

Also a Laura Ingalls Wilder fan. Love your thoughts here, and like Joy said, the story behind the poem.
I'm glad you liked the story behind the poem Stacy, because I almost didn't post it;) I'm glad I trusted my instincts to share that bit!
Yes!! So glad you did!
