About this book
Caroline Ashcroft waits on the lawn with her pet lamb, Daisy, eager to welcome her brother Herbert home from school. His return promises company, stories and shared outings, but a rainy morning soon brings out his impatience. When he takes over her game of soap bubbles and teases her with a treasured doll, Caroline's forgiving nature meets a harder test than her happy preparations had suggested.
Mrs. George Cupples builds this children's tale around small choices within a family: sharing play, controlling a temper and responding gently to unkindness. Later scenes extend that concern to an ailing donkey cared for by the children, while Caroline prepares to give her first rose to a blind girl named Susan. The household conversations and everyday incidents offer readers a close look at a story in which kindness becomes a practical responsibility.
