A humorous yet practical book of life lessons from the seminal Little House on the Prairie television series and the books on which it was based, blending Laura Ingalls Wilder’s timeless teachings with her surprisingly timely penchant for homesteading, crafting, and the lifestyle we now call Cottagecore.
 

The Little House on the Prairie was a childhood TV classic for a generation of kids, and Laura Ingalls Wilder’s novels have never gone out of style for young bookworms. Her stories of her family’s life in the 1870s offer countless gems of wisdom, and many facets of their lifestyle and the skills they relied on have become some of the hottest trends of today, from sourdough bread and modern pioneering to DIY prairie dresses and needlepoint.
 
Little House Life Hacks playfully compiles the most crucial takeaways from that world, practical enough for pioneering stock and updated for today’s evolving world. The Ingalls are the perfect reminders of what’s important: love, family, community, honest work, and integrity. Alongside the life advice are selected inspirational quotes from the Little House books and show and fun pop culture tidbits (like that The Rock’s first celebrity crush was original mean girl Nellie Oleson), as well as with meaningful takeaways for creating more balance, wellness, and fun in all aspects of your life.

  • “Gather up your prairie dresses and slice through the sourdough—the OG cottagecore Ingalls family's life lessons persist in this new book. . . . This giftable hardback celebrates Little House on the Prairie’s practical hacks and bite-sized pieces of advice.”
