I absolutely loved this little children's book about Michael Landon. I know his more complete story and this book being aimed at children left those details out. This story focuses on all the things Michael had to overcome and persevere through to reach his goals. This book is great for Michael Landon fans, Laura Ingalls Wilder fans, or Little House on the Prairie fans. The adorable illustrations are worth it alone. So glad I stumbled upon this rare gem.

This was a great book! I love Little House on the Prairie so this book gave me a deeper understanding of the man that put his heart and soul into this television series. He was an overcomer. What a special man he was. I read it to my daughter in one sitting. We both thoroughly enjoyed it.

Good book. I learned things I never knew.
It's good follow-up activity is to watch or read Little House on the Prairie which Michael Landon helped create the TV show of.

A story I read to my students to align with our health standards on thinking with a growth mindset.
