Summary
The author of Nettie's Gift presents a touching tale, told by great-grandma Rebecca, of a Depression-era Christmas when she wished for a porcelain doll, but the gingerbread doll she received instead forms a bond lasting generations. Reprint.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
ÂThis is a warm and engaging Christmas story set during the Great Depression. Rebecca is nine years old when her large, close-knit family moves into a tarpaper farm house in Wisconsin. Because times are hard, she does not find the porcelain doll she had hoped for under the Christmas tree. Instead, her mother surprises her with a thick gingerbread doll named Button Marie, which she loves Âin a way you could never love anything from a store.â . . . These paintings (which are reminiscent of the work of Andrew Wyeth) convey a strong sense of the affection that pervades the family over the generations. The emphasis on such familiar things as family storytelling and rituals makes this a slice of Americana that the picture book crowd can savor.âÂALA Booklist
ÂLloydâs sharply observed realistic watercolorsÂin a palette somewhat grayed as if to recall old b&w photosÂbeautifully reflect this well-told storyâs warmth and focus on essential values.âÂKirkus Reviews
