Who said what
Amy Poehler👍 Recommends
…beloved middle grade book series from amy's childhood about homesteading and frontier life
“There were many, many series of books that I loved. But we talked a lot about homesteading today and growing your own vegetables and pulling potatoes out of the earth. And it made me think about Little House on the Prairie and Laura Ingalls Wilder. And, God, I just, I loved those books.”
