This book tells the story of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, two brothers from Germany who loved stories. They lived a long time ago, in the 1800s, and worked as teachers and librarians. The Brothers Grimm are best known for writing down old fairy tales like Cinderella, Snow White, Hansel and Gretel and Rapunzel. People used to tell these stories out loud, but the brothers wrote them down so they wouldn’t be lost. The book shows how they collected the stories and how their fairy tales became famous all over the world.

This book is great for kids who love fairy tales and want to know who wrote them down. The writing is easy to follow, and the pictures help explain the story. It teaches readers about history, books and the power of storytelling. It's fun, educational and inspiring for anyone who enjoys magical stories or wants to learn about people who helped keep them alive.
