    Oh, Seung Ah

    Journal Article

    Oh explores the unrecognized influence of Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House books on Linda Sue Park's early novels, particularly her debut novel SeeSaw Girl. Despite Park's reticence in acknowledging Wilder's presence, her novels subtly reveal her long-term relationship with the Little House books. Examples of how Park unconsciously repeats Wilder's style and themes in her writing, such as rhythm, structure, and gender dynamics are discussed. She also highlights the thematic and narrative similarities between SeeSaw Girl and the Little House books, including the desire for freedom and the mother-daughter relationship. She argues that Park's rewriting of Wilder's scenes in SeeSaw Girl demonstrates her literary inheritance and the intertextual relationship between their texts. Overall, she suggests that Park's novels reflect an unrecognized literary heritage in American children's literature.
