About This Book

A lively child-centered collection traces a spirited little girl's everyday escapades, each chapter a compact episode of play, mischief, and consequence. Episodes include visits to blind children, imaginary ship voyages, a spoiled dinner, a truant adventure, and family celebrations, with domestic scenes that reveal different parenting styles and social conditions. Humorous mishaps alternate with moments of regret and learning, and recurring warmth and empathy show how curiosity and impulsiveness are tempered by affection, small moral lessons, and the consolations of home.
