Summary: Build Some Confidence
Review: I find this such an amazing book. I loved it so much. I am using this book for a book report and I find that it will be the best.I am doing a bookseller's day and I will try to sell this book. I feel that it will be successful for me because this book is so interesting. Sometimes it is so touching it can make you cry. Jean Little is such a brave girl and into such a talented young lady and to a real grown up person. I feel that this book will teach you a great lesson by having someone sharing their past with you and everyone around. Everything in the book is so real because all those things have probably happened in some school. People getting bullied. But the thing is, no one ever stands up for themselves and I find Jean Little such a spectacular person.

Summary: Wonderful
Review: I have always enjoyed reading autobiographies of my favorite children's authors, and "Little by Little" was no exception. Jean Little is a very perceptive writer, right on target with children's emotions and has great insight on what it means to be an outcast or misfit. It was interesting reading about her early childhood in Asia (no wonder I keep getting her mixed up with Jean Fritz!), her eventual move back to Canada with her family, and her visual handicap. I also highly recommend "Stars Come Out Within," the sequel to this book which traces her adulthood and career as a writer and her eventual blindness.

Summary: Little by Little
Review: I have loved Jean Little's books about children facing special challenges for many years, but only found out recently that she has had her own disabilities to cope with. In this book, she talks about her childhood in China and then Canada, the difficulties she faced going through school with severely impaired vision, and the love and support of her family that enabled her to persevere. With insight and humor but without self-pity, she tells of the challenges she faced at school, including bullying, as well as the relief when she was put in a sight-savers class and at last found a place where she was "normal" - like the other children in her class - and had teachers who understood her needs. Against all odds, Little decided to go to university. The book ends as she works as a teacher and writes her first book - one inspired by the need of her disabled students to read realistic stories about children like themselves. After reading this book, I know understand how she writes so knowingly - it's because she has lived many of her stories.

Summary: inspiring
Review: I really enjoyed the book and the determination to do things it shows. I really enjoyed the authors style of writing. I have been searching for the next book she wrote, "Stars Come Out Again" but so far have been unsuccessful. I have a 14 yr old niece who lost her sight suddenly after a brain tumor and has gone through many of the feelings and eperiences of Jean Little. The book shows how you can do what you want to do.

Summary: Little by Little
Review: I really enjoyed this book because it was obviously a stuggle for Jean Little, but she still kept on going. She had many goals in her life and most of them was to do something in order to be normal. I think the most important parts of the story is when she gets her different pieces of writing published and actually gets money for it. She has loved books ever since she grew up. I noticed that many books that she has written has connections with her life. Most of them have a disabled person as a character. I think she writes all her books by using her life as a base, but altering many things.

Summary: Little By Little
Review: If you like sad but happy or a lesson to learn in a book you will like Little By Little. Jean has one of the most popular books help you in life. The genre of this story is autobiography. It will change your point of veiw as a reader and as a person because you know the things she goes through really happen. I like this book because when you get into the story it's hard to get out. The story is about how Jean, little by little, succeeds in different things like reading, school and many more. For example, when she's trying to learn to read, she didn't give up. She went through stages during lerning to make new frieds,and getting through school. Jean uses very interesting words to make you feel like you're there. For instance when it's her first day at school she explains how she felt and what she felt like doing. This book taught me that it's hard to live a normal life if you have a disability.

Summary: Little by Little: A Writers Education
Review: Jean Little's book Little by Little was absolutly amazing! While autobiographies and biographies usually bore me this one was so great I had trouble putting it down. Jean is such a great role modle for those who are crippled or have critical conditions. Even though she was partially blind and cross-eyed she commited herself to working hard and fullfilling her dreams of becoming a writer and poet. I would suggest reading this 5 star book to anyone because Jean Little is an absoulutly amazing woman that influences me greatly in achieving what I want to achieve in my life!
