Fanny by Holly Hobbie
Okay, if you have storybook aged kids, love to sew, or are just a little old fashioned, you will love
this book! It's about a girl and her homemade doll. Fanny goes through some self-discovery while she learns to enjoy the work of her own hands. I like how she figures out that what everyone else wants doesn't necessarily need to be what she wants. It's exciting to imagine a 9 year old girl discovering this when most 30 year old girls are still struggling with it.
Then, if you like it, you'll probably also love the sequel,
Fanny and Annabelle
. This is more of an adventure in art and honesty, but it has that same genuine, old-fashioned girl vibe.
