A timeless family story, perfect for girls who love dolls.
Nine-year-old Anna and her sisters don't mind helping out in their parents' doll repair shop because once the chores are done, the fun can begin. Although the dolls aren't theirs to keep, the girls can play with them - carefully - until Papa fixes each doll and returns it to its owner.
Then World War I begins, and an embargo on German-made goods, including the parts Papa needs to repair the dolls, threatens to put the family's shop out of business - until Anna's idea to make dolls from scratch saves the day.
This tenderly written, delightfully illustrated storybook will remind readers of beloved classics from childhood like the All-of-a-Kind Family series by Sydney Taylor.
Genre: Children's Fiction
