Beschreibung

In "The Outdoor Girls at the Hostess House; Or, Doing Their Best for the Soldiers," Laura Lee Hope crafts a captivating narrative that intertwines themes of patriotism, camaraderie, and the evolving roles of women during wartime. Set against the backdrop of World War I, this tale highlights the adventurous spirit of the titular girls as they engage in volunteer work at a Hostess House'Äîa space providing comfort and support to soldiers. Hope's literary style is characterized by spirited dialogue and vivid descriptions, creating a sense of immediacy and authenticity while fulfilling the societal expectations of early 20th-century young adult literature, which often highlighted moral lessons and community service. Laura Lee Hope, a pseudonym for the well-known Stratemeyer Syndicate, was an author of numerous children'Äôs series that resonated with young readers in the early 1900s. Their understanding of the era'Äôs social dynamics and the emerging women'Äôs movement likely influenced their portrayal of strong, resourceful female characters. As a product of a society navigating the trials of war and gender roles, this book reflects the collective effort to support the war, showcasing both the challenges and triumphs faced by these spirited young women. This engaging read is highly recommended for those interested in historical fiction, especially about World War I, as well as for readers seeking uplifting stories that underscore the importance of community and perseverance. Hope'Äôs work not only entertains but also offers insightful reflections on the contributions of women during a pivotal moment in history.

    "From Yuyi Morales, this Pura Belpré–winning companion to the award-winning Just a Minute is a beautiful alphabet picture book, featuring text in English and Spanish. 
    It's Grandma Beetle's birthday, and Señor Calavera (a skeleton from the Day of the Dead) doesn't know what to bring to her party. ""Don't worry,"" says Zelmiro the Ghost. ""You surely must know, the best present to give a friend is the thing she would love the most."" So instead of choosing just one gift, Señor Calavera chooses: Un Acordeón: An accordion for her to dance to. Bigotes: A mustache because she had none. Cosquillas: Tickles to make her laugh. Un Chiflido: A whistle he trapped in a bag. And so on. . . . 
     
    This companion to Yuyi Morales's Pura Belpré award-winning trickster tale, Just a Minute, is a stunning picture book that functions both as a Spanish alphabet book and a marvelous story."
