A warm, inspiring picture book biography of author Madeleine L’Engle and the making of A Wrinkle in Time, a household favorite for over sixty years!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?
