What Katy Did by Calvin Coolidge

A Story for Children

A spirited, headstrong girl whose lively tomboy ways lead to a serious accident is forced by injury and confinement to confront her selfishness, learning patience, humility, and the value of helping others; with the steady support and gentle challenges of family and friends she matures into a kinder, more responsible presence in her household, and the story traces her moral growth and everyday domestic adventures in a warm Victorian setting.
