Little House on the Prairie, written by Laura Ingalls Wilder, is a beloved classic of American children's literature that invites readers into the heartwarming yet challenging world of the Ingalls family as they navigate life on the American frontier during the late 19th century. This richly descriptive narrative chronicles the experiences of young Laura, her parents Charles and Caroline, and her sisters Mary, Carrie, and Grace, as they journey from their home in Wisconsin to a new life on the prairies of Kansas.
