Brooks White was born on July 11, 1899. He was the youngest child in his family. He had three sisters and two brothers. White’s brother, Stanley, taught him how to read before he even started going to school.

All the White children learned music. After dinner, the White children played music together. They also did their homework. Their parents had been too poor to stay in school. But they wanted their children to get a good education.

The Whites lived in Mount Vernon, New York. Today, Mount Vernon is a city. But when Brooks White lived there, it was a rural, or country, town. Wild animals lived in rural areas. Brooks loved animals. He always had a dog and lots of other pets. He kept birds, bunnies, lizards, snakes, and mice as pets.

Brooks loved to watch nature. He watched birds hatch from their eggs. He watched the sun rise in the sky. One day, Brooks’ father brought home some chicken eggs. The eggs soon hatched. Brooks was excited to see the first chick come out of its shell.
