Who Was E.B. White? Gail Herman. 2022. 112 pages. [Source: Library]
First sentence: It was spring 1926.
Who Was E.B. White is a nonfiction biography for young readers. The branded title for the series is WHO HQ. (I personally call them the big head biographies.) It is a moderately illustrated (with black and white illustrations) biography. The biography mainly focuses on his life as a writer--as you'd expect--his three children's titles being Stuart Little, Charlotte's Web, and The Trumpet of the Swan. But mainly his work was for magazines.
I liked this one. I didn't love, love, love it. But that is probably because I really, really LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Some Writer: The Story of E.B. White by Melissa Sweet. That book was all kinds of amazing. Highly recommend that one. This one is probably comparable to other books in the WHO HQ series.
