Book Of The Month:

Little House on the Prairie

By Laura Ingalls Wilder

It’s time for our annual re-read of the Little House books — and next up is Book 3: Little House on the Prairie!

In this beloved installment, the Ingalls family leaves the Big Woods behind and heads west to the Kansas prairie, where they build a new home from the ground up. Alongside the challenges of pioneer life — wild weather, new neighbors, and the realities of settling on unfamiliar land — come moments of resilience, resourcefulness, and heart.

This book brings the wide-open prairie to life, showing us not just how the Ingalls lived, but how they stayed close, hopeful, and brave through every unknown.
