About this book
A carriage ride with the Codman family introduces Josey, a small boy whose everyday conduct becomes the focus of a Christian story for children. His father is a minister, his sister Emma is still a baby, and Aunt Fanny takes a close interest in his care. As the adults prepare for an evening church service, talk of clothes, nursery arrangements and kindness places religious teaching within the bustle of family life.
Madeline Leslie follows that teaching into the small decisions of childhood. Josey learns to be patient when Emma interferes with his books, reads to older women in the parish, and spends his pocket money on useful Christmas gifts for poorer neighbors. He also struggles to leave enjoyable conversation when it is time for school. Readers interested in older children's fiction will find a direct account of how affection, forgiveness and practical generosity are taught through household routines.
