Sue Truesdell has illustrated many children's books, including How to Talk to Your Dog by Jean Craighead George and Betsy Byars's I Can Read! series about the adventuresome Golly Sisters. She writes with a voice-activated computer and travels widely with her Seeing Eye dog, Pippa. Although Jean Little was born with scarred corneas that severely impair her vision, she has always loved to read and to write.
The family has nine pets, the most recent addition being Henry Higgins, a talking African gray parrot.
Jean Little has always been interested in adoption, and she had a first-hand experience with it when her sister adopted two children several years ago. Hey World, Here I am (Harper Trophy Book) : Little, Jean: Amazon.es: Libros. Little's works include the novels Lost and Found, Different Dragons, From Anna and Hey World, Here I Am, illustrated by Sue Truesdell.
In addition to Emma's Magic Winter, her first I Can Read Book, Ms. Truesdell's b&w illustrations brighten the format, extend the humor, and contribute nicely to the sense of place.Jean Little is the author of more than twenty-five books for children. There are 47 of these brief pieces, each story half poetry, each ""poem"" a little prosaic, together presenting a compelling portrait of Kate-a nice early teen-ager with intelligence and a wide-ranging curiosity that seems to be in no danger of confinement. Here I am is a less strong statement and may be in response to someone searching for or looking for you. I am here is used to aggressively declare your location to everyone, and can be used as a way of claiming the territory you stand on. Ever looking for the illuminating image, she thinks of herself as a jigsaw puzzle she's putting together, always finding new pieces, hoping never to be confined by the edges. Both I am here and here I am are commonly used as a way of identifying your location. Readers of Little's autobiography (Little by Little, 1988) will observe that Kate has a lot in common with her: she's a sharp, compassionate observer, honest about the ups and downs of her relationships with family and friends, who cares passionately but tactfully about matters as diverse as the abridgment of Heidi (""People who read condensed versions.are like people who read a road map-and think they've been on a journey"") and the nature of God. It seems that Kate Bloomfield (Kate, 1971) has written a collection of personal poems and stories-somewhat to author Little's surprise as expressed in a charmingly ingenuous introduction that explains that Kate has always led an independent, unpredictable life.
