About this book
Packing books for a move, lively Peggy climbs a stepladder while her younger sister Alice works more cautiously below. Their family is leaving a large house for a smaller home after their father's death during the war. Eliza Orne White's children's novel follows the sisters and their mother as familiar furniture, a beloved cat, and hopes for new playmates help them face the change.
Everyday country life gives the story its substance: planting vegetables, choosing kittens, gathering berries, and watching birds and squirrels. Their mother's work preserving produce for neighbors connects the garden's pleasures with the household's need for money. Peggy's restless curiosity and Alice's careful habits create small disagreements as well as shared excitement. Readers interested in stories of sisters and family resourcefulness will find a close look at childhood through errands, outdoor discoveries, and conversations about work.
