    About this ebook

    If you were a little girl
    who listened to stories
    over and over and over;
    and who read books
    every night,
    every day,
    even as her mother led her across the street,
    You might be me,
    a writer.

    Follow a little girl in acclaimed writer Patricia MacLachlan's semi-autobiographical picture book, Someone Like Me. Filled with gorgeous and thoughtful illustrations by Chris Sheban, learn what it might take to grow up to become a writer.

      Like many young girls, I fell in love with the Little House series when I was about seven years old. What followed was two or three years of obsession; I read the books repeatedly, developed a fondness for long dresses, and regularly wore my hair in

      Sweet and simple. A book that has a gentleness to it.
    • 5/5
      I love everything Patricia MacLachlan writes! And I love Chris Sheban's art. I love how many of Ms. MacLachlan's references in this book refer to other books she's written. For example, "Aunt Emma's dog with three names" is her picture book "Three Names." My favorite page is the illustration of a pied hound dog with a girl's hand lifting his upper lip and the words: "who tried to teach her dog to talk by moving his lips like hers". Reading anything by Ms. MacLachlan makes me want to be a writer, too.
