As a mom, one of my favorite aspects of this book is the wholesomeness of the book. Lily is an adventurous, fun girl who enjoys simple beauty and helps her family. She’s brave and kind, yet has problems that most young girls can identify with – with obeying her elders, with making wise friendship choices, and with fear of the unknown. Her parents are wise and their instruction will teach young readers bold lessons.
As a teacher, I love all the hands-on activities that Lily does in this book – because it presents myriads of choices for lessons and for exciting, real-life interactions with Lily’s life! My daughter’s book club will be reading this soon, and we’re planning to do many of the activities that Lily enjoys in the story – like baking, making indoor windows, and sewing a quilt square.
This a series that will definitely grace our bookshelf so that we can enjoy it for many years. I can’t wait for the next installment!
