A Dear Little Girl's Summer Holidays written by Amy E. Blanchard. This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.

"Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria? How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand? Those lyrics were made famous by the nuns in the hit musical, “The Sound of Music”. My “Maria” was NEVER a problem, but it really was like holding a “moonbeam in your hand.” My “moonbeam” was Eliana and like the nuns in the musical, it was my job as her first grade teacher to instruct her, mold her and shape her. As a seasoned first grade teacher I was ready for the challenge. However, it was I who marveled at her voracious wish to write and write and write. After the writing, came the detailed illustrations–lovingly, carefully penned.Now, you the reader can come hold this “moonbeam” in your hand just like me. Welcome to Eliana’s world of Bear and Pepper and little mice in the meadow. Welcome to the wonderful world of a first grader who loves to write and illustrate. If you are lucky to have or know or even wish to be a “moonbeam” I hope that her writing will inspire and encourage you."—Linda Nelson, First Grade Teacher, Charter School of Morgan Hill100% of the proceeds from the sale of this book go to www.kidscanpublish.org to fund the publication costs of children's books.

The cat and kitten were both eating supper and Marian was watching them. Her own supper of bread and milk she had finished, and had taken the remains of it to Tippy and Dippy. Marian did not care very much for bread and milk, but the cat and kitten did, as was plainly shown by the way they hunched themselves down in front of the tin pan into which Marian had poured their supper.

"It will be a fine opportunity for Edna," said Mrs. Conway.Edna did not like that word opportunity; it always seemed to her that it meant something unpleasant. She had noticed that when pleasant things came along they were rarely spoken of as "opportunities," but were just happenings. So she sat with her little sturdy legs dangling down from the sofa, and a very sober look upon her round face, while her busy, dimpled hands were folded quietly.
