In this book from the critically acclaimed, mulitmillion-copy
best-selling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover how Astrid
Lindgren grew up to become one of the world's best-loved authors, and
the creator of the irresistible Pippi Longstocking.
Little Astrid grew up on an old farm in Sweden. Her childhood was very
happy, so happy that she never wanted to grow up. When she was four,
her friend Edit read Astrid her first story. Suddenly, the entire place
was filled with giants, witches and fairies.
They all came out from a magic object called a book. Astrid did her
best to learn how to read, and once she started, she couldn't stop!
Soon, there were no books left to borrow from the library and her
friends.

career as a world-renowned author. Accessible and easy to follow
text means that this book can inspire young readers in just the
same way that Astrid was inspired when she started reading, all those
years ago.

extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with
