Book excerpt: 2023 Bank Street Best Children's Books of the Year "An engaging introduction to this Romantic-era poet." -Booklist The story behind the classic poem and song, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star! Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are. Did you ever wonder who wrote that famous verse? In the days when most girls were brought up to run a home, Jane Taylor had a different kind of education in the countryside, where she was inspired by nature and the stars, and dreamed of becoming a writer. But then, it was not considered proper for women to be writers. But Jane did write, and she never forgot her love for beauty of nature and the glow of stars, or her desire to write for children. Her published poetry became universally known for generations to come: Twinkle, twinkle little star. This lyrical and luminous biography shines a light on the unsung poet who wrote the words of our most enduring lullaby, and features stunning artwork reflecting the world, the stars, and the story behind the poem that we all know so well.
