This is a picture book based on the relevance of a Betty Doll and what the mean to the granddaughter. It is a tragic story of the loss of all the family's possessions in a house fire, and the grandmother makes it up to her granddaughter in this amazing story about a family who loses everything, yet still continues to put together through the odds. I think this would be a great addition to the library in my classroom because of how much it can show children that no matter how bad it gets, things can still prosper.
