A sweet little story about a 4-year-old girl who desperately wants to be like her big siblings. A perfect one to read with my own 4-year-old kiddo.
That’s cute. I’ve never read it before.

It’s vaguely reminiscent of The Little House books, but without all the depressing doom and gloom of rebuilding over and over.

The viewpoint mostly centering around a little girl who is almost fine now is particularly cute and seeing her interactions with her older siblings makes me look forward to when my own get to that age.
Just a happy little family in Kentucky in the early 1900's. Full of charm of the simple things in everyday life.
seemed older than it is. cute
