Sinopse

In "The Girl Scouts at Miss Allen's School," Edith Lavell crafts a vibrant narrative that intertwines the adventurous spirits of Girl Scouts with the challenges of life in an educational setting. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, the book employs a straightforward, engaging literary style that spotlights themes of friendship, teamwork, and personal growth. Lavell'Äôs work not only highlights the societal expectations of young girls during this era but also immerses readers in the practicalities of the Girl Scouts' ethos'Äîemphasizing leadership, community service, and self-reliance. Edith Lavell, a prominent figure in the movement for girls' empowerment and education, drew from her own experiences to infuse authenticity into her narrative. Her affiliation with the Girl Scouts and a lifelong commitment to the development of young women'Äôs skills likely inspired her to portray resilient characters who navigate the complexities of adolescence while adhering to the organization'Äôs values. Lavell's dedication to instilling confidence in young girls is reflected in her approach to storytelling. I highly recommend "The Girl Scouts at Miss Allen's School" to readers of all ages, especially those interested in understanding the historical significance of the Girl Scouts movement. This book serves not only as an enjoyable read but also as an inspirational guide to the virtues of girlhood courage and camaraderie that resonate with contemporary audiences.

The Woman Who Lived In A Shoe - Finally the reason why her house was a shoe - cover

The Woman Who Lived In A Shoe -...

L. Frank Baum

Yes, her house did look like a shoe and she did have a LOT of children (actually they were all her grandchildren so don't judge her) and she often did not know what to do. But she was a prudent and loving lady who took all 16 of them in and they somehow managed to not just grow, but thrive and grow healthier on the little food she could afford. That and of course the spanking they all got to help them grow.  Perhaps it was the love that she gave them all with great abundance. She may be short on food and their beds may be cramped and their clothes patched and old, but there was never a lack of love for any of them in her 'shoe' home. 
This story finally gives us the 'true' facts of how this all came about, both how she had so many children to care for and how her house gradually came to resemble a gigantic shoe. You know you want to know how this happened, don't you? I certainly did and am much happier now that it is all explained fully and neatly. Give it a listen!
