Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards (1850–1943) was an American writer and poet, best known for her prolific children's books and contributions to the field of biography. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, she was the daughter of Julia Ward Howe, an abolitionist and social activist, and Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe, the founder of the Perkins Institution for the Blind. Richards is celebrated for her moral tales and biographical works that appeal to young audiences. Her literary style is characterized by a blend of whimsy and didacticism, aiming to both entertain and instruct her readers. One of her notable works includes 'The Golden-Breasted Kootoo, and Other Stories'—a collection that showcases her gift for storytelling and imaginative plots. Richards was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1917 for her biography of her mother, titled 'Julia Ward Howe, 1819-1910,' co-written with her sister, Maud Howe Elliott. Among her other significant works are the 'Captain January' series and 'Queen Hildegarde,' which were cherished by generations of children. Richards' contributions to American literature, especially children's literature, remain enduring tokens of her creativity and compassion.
