Mary Lemist Titcomb was an extraordinary woman who pursued her dreams and never gave up. She became a librarian to enlighten others with the joy of reading, and when the rural folk could not get to library, she went to them. She designed the first bookmobile in the United States, pulled by horses. This book, written for children, is nevertheless a delight for young and old alike.

The book is well written, easily understood by young children, and quite informative.… (plus d'informations)

Growing up Gracie always played with her Aunt Roo despite their stark difference in age. They would sing, dance, and play school. When Gracie goes to school, she realizes that she knows more than her Aunt Roo and that she is different from her. This causes Gracie to become embarrassed of her Roo.
