Hannah's Helping Hands

(4) 1-3 Pioneer Daughters series. Illustrated by Donna Diamond. Although her brother is in danger, serving in General Washington's army, Hannah Perley finds security in helping her family on their colonial farm. When British soldiers burn their home, Hannah's family decides to pull together and rebuild. Based on the historical 1779 sacking of Fairfield, Connecticut, the book offers oversimplified dialogue and superficial emotional insights but contains detailed descriptions of eighteenth-century tasks.
