(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jen Hill. Based on a true story and with illustrations evoking the era, this book follows ten-year-old Diana, who lived in the White House while her father, Harry Hopkins, was President Franklin Roosevelt's chief advisor. Diana gets into mischief until, anxious to help the war effort, she volunteers to tend the White House Victory Garden; her efforts inspire the nation. A warm story with lots of curriculum connections.
