Books with title The Gingerbread Girl

“This is a warm and engaging Christmas story set during the Great Depression. Rebecca is nine years old when her large, close-knit family moves into a tarpaper farm house in Wisconsin. Because times are hard, she does not find the porcelain doll she had hoped for under the Christmas tree. Instead, her mother surprises her with a thick gingerbread doll named Button Marie, which she loves ‘in a way you could never love anything from a store.’ . . . These paintings (which are reminiscent of the work of Andrew Wyeth) convey a strong sense of the affection that pervades the family over the generations. The emphasis on such familiar things as family storytelling and rituals makes this a slice of Americana that the picture book crowd can savor.”—ALA Booklist“Lloyd’s sharply observed realistic watercolors—in a palette somewhat grayed as if to recall old b&w photos—beautifully reflect this well-told story’s warmth and focus on essential values.”—Kirkus Reviews

The puppy they call Ginger is back. This time, she tells her story about her life and her family. How she grew from a puppy to a dog. Ginger talks about becoming potty trained, and the loss of her eye. Just because you look and do things a little differently doesn't mean you should be treated a certain way. Her family still loves her, just the way she is, and that will never change.
