Clara and Davie
The True Story of Young Clara Barton, Founder of the American Red Cross
Patricia Polacco
Juvenile Nonfiction / Biography & Autobiography / Historical
From the bestselling author, the true story of young Clara Barton and the big brother who supported and encouraged her in the face of adversity.
Animals and flowers were Clara’s best friends. She had a special way with critters and found joy in the beauty that sprang from the soil. But whenever Clara talked, her words didn’t come out right. As hard as she tried, she could not get over her lisp.
Clara’s older brother Davie understood that his sister was gifted. When folks made fun of Clara’s stilted words, Davie was always at her side reminding her that she had a talent for healing creatures.
Davie told his sister, “Some day you are going to be a very great lady.” And that’s exactly what happened. Clara Barton became one of the most famous medical practitioners of all time and founded the American Red Cross.
Praise for Clara and Davie
“Drawing once again on her family history, Polacco shares the story of a distant relative . . . Polacco's characteristic mixed-media illustrations are lively and evocative, and the winter scenes are especially appealing. This heartwarming story of sibling devotion and overcoming obstacles will whet readers' interest and lead them to further study.” —School Library Journal Do you want to read this book? 😳
