"There are many little ways to enlarge your child's world. Love of books is the best of all." --Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis
Discover a delightful new story about Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, one of the most famous women in the world.
History remembers Jackie as the consummate First Lady, especially for her White House restoration and the cultural events she instituted during her husband's administration. Jackie was on the world stage in 1963 when President Kennedy was assassinated. She led the nation in grieving the fallen leader with grace and dignity.
In this inspirational celebration of reading, Ronni Diamondstein, with her engaging writing style in this picture book biography, introduces readers to an independent and confident Jackie and the idea of how books guided her life. The insightful story paints the portrait of a child captivated by reading and a love of literature and writing--from five‑year‑old Jackie reading Chekhov stories to a seasoned and confident Jackie at her desk as an editor in the last two decades of her life.
Jackie never wrote a memoir but revealed herself in the nearly 100 books she brought into print. Jackie and the Books She Loved is a dazzling book about the real woman behind this American icon of style and grace brought to life by the whimsical and tasteful artwork of Bats Langley.
Includes bibliographical references.
