l'engle, madeleine

"When Madeleine L'Engle was very small, she marvelled at the stars. They guided her throughout her life, making her feel part of a big and exciting world, even when she felt alone. They made her want to ask big questions--Why are we here? What is my place in the universe?--and let her imagination take flight. . . . 'A Book, Too, Can Be a Star' follows the life of one of the world's greatest creators--and gives children encouragement to lead a creative, inquisitive life"--Provided by publisher.
