True beauty is found inside a person, not on the outside. Beauty comes through loving and serving others with open hands. The leading lady of this story is not a princess and will never be written about in history books, but she is the epitome of love, and that makes her entirely beautiful. When others need her most, she wastes no time meeting needs all around. Through her self-sacrifice we see that love serves others with no thought for reward. Love in its very best form is selfless. Her story (like so many others) needs to be told to our children. In this debut book geared toward preschoolers, ordinary actions can be seen as extraordinary acts, challenging the youngest readers and encouraging them to redefine love and beauty in their own world.

This volume of essays and short stories by Harriet Beecher Stowe was written under the pseudonym Christopher Crowfield. As with many women of her time, Stowe took on a male pseudonym in order to make her work more acceptable to male dominated literary outlets, such as the Atlantic Monthly, where these works were originally published. Focusing on the domestic American household of the 1860s, the short pieces comment on the changes wrought by the Civil War. The wartime economic boom brought inexpensive consumer goods to more households. What was once a homey, comfortable parlor, the center of family activity, became a showplace, locked up like a museum. Simple home life became more complex. And Stowe, alias Crowfield, with her precise eye for social phenomena, found this domestic change worth chronicling.
