Marvel, her seven siblings, and her mother find a shack in the woods and, over the course of a year, turn it into a home. Based on the author's grandmother's childhood; includes historical notes. Published at the end of 2019, we couldn’t help sharing this one! Recommended for ages 6-9.



Staff member, Kathy, says, "It reminds me of stories my mother, and her mother, told me of their childhoods.  Poverty and hardship was their environment, but their memories were more often of love and adventure."
