About this ebook
In this loving tribute to Virginia Lee Burton, the New York Times best-selling creators Sherri Duskey Rinker and John Rocco pay homage to the storied life of one of the most beloved creators in children’s literature. Everyone in Folly Cove knows Virginia Lee as “Jinnee.” With her magical wands she can draw whatever she imagines, but for her sons Aris and Michael, she draws the most wonderful characters of all: BIG MACHINES with friendly names like Mary Anne, Maybelle, and Katy. Her marvelous magical wands can make anything move—even a cheerful Little House.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is an absolutely wonderful book about the author who brought the world Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel. The author created the books for her children and her love of art. I really liked this biography because right away i knew who they were talking about, but it felt more like a story than a biography.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great story about a favorite artist/ storyteller
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel was one of my favorite books growing up, so when I saw this biography about Virginia Lee Burton, I just had to read it! Beautifully illustrated, and a great way to tell the story of a beloved children's book author and illustrator.
