This book by Laura Ingalls Wilder was my favorite book growing up. From the age of 5 my Mom began reading the Little House on the Prairie books to me. I was always interested in Laura's pioneer life and her stories of being a beginning teacher. Sometimes before the beginning of a school year I still go back and read this book. Even though I cannot literally be a pioneer as she was, I feel maybe I can pioneer new ways of thinking and make a difference in someone's life.
