Experience a Day in Yakima Valley, Washington in the Early 1900s with a Little Girl Named Beatrice!
Little Beatrice lives on a farm in the Yakima Valley with Mamma and Pappa and her sisters Gladys and Cleo. At the center of their home is a little black cook stove, where fresh biscuits await her after school and baby chicks nestle together for warmth. Adapted from a short piece that the adult Beatrice wrote many years later, these moments in Beatrice’s life, lovingly recalled and beautifully illustrated, reveal the comfort a little girl finds in daily routines with her loving family and the joy she finds in the world around her.
About the Author
Beatrice Katsaros was born in 1905 to Myrtle and Samuel Huit in the town of Buena in the Yakima Valley, Washington. She had an older sister, Cleo, and a younger one, Gladys, who also appear in our book. Beatrice wrote her remembrances in an issue of Vogue Magazine, surrounding a picture of a cook stove. The writings were found in 1964 and then recommended to become children's book by a family friend some 56 years later!
