Beatrix Potter

Beatrix Potter was born on July 28,1866 in London, England. Her parents were Rupert and Helen Potter. She had a brother named Bertram. She was an author and illustrator. Beatrix's real name was Helen Beatrix Potter but people called her Beatrix. She got engaged to her editor named Norman Warne, but before they got married Norman got sick and died. Beatrix was very sad. But then she got married to a man named William Heelis. Her first book was "The Tale of Peter Rabbit". Beatrix died in 1943 at the age of 77. And her children books are still loved by kids all over the world today.I liked this book because since she was an illustrator and author it encourages me to reaad and write more.

I was so fortunate to find this book. I had to find out historical facts about Beatrix Potter because I was doing an author study on her. This book helped me out so much. The illustrations were wonderful. The book told so many facts about her childhood and the things that she liked to do as a child. There were so many things in the book that I did not know about her. I still would not know the information about her, if I had not found this book. I read it out to my class instead of taking notes out of it because it was so wonderful.
