About this book
A breeze from the harbor reaches the children's hospital ward, where the patients are waiting for Polly May and another of her stories. Polly is almost well enough to leave, and the prospect troubles both her young friends and their nurse, Miss Lucy. Emma C. Dowd's children's novel begins with the comfort Polly brings through a fairy tale about cherry pudding, a chair offered to another girl, and a welcome for anxious new patients.
The ward's everyday life gives the story its shape: aching limbs, small quarrels, gifts of flowers, and plans for a shared celebration. Singing also brings Polly closer to the hospital staff. Miss Price praises her voice and suggests a musical education, while Polly credits David's singing for helping her learn a hymn and shares her sweet peas with him.
