Omschrijving

Eight-year-old Anna enjoys one exciting experience after another in this charming story set in Baltimore just before World War I. She gets a new winter coat that's even better than Rosa's, rollerskates down the steepest hill in the neighborhood, and rides the trolley all by herself. And she delights in the changes occurring in the world around her, as motorcars and electric lights appear for the first time on her street. Based on the childhood experiences of the author's mother, these heartwarming episodes touch on timeless themes of family, friends, and the wonders of growing up.

Join Anna for a year of unforgettable firsts in a world on the cusp of change.

Early 20th Century Setting: Discover Baltimore on the brink of a new era, where the first motorcars share the streets with horse-drawn carts and new electric lights begin to glow. Family Bonds: Step into a warm, German-American home full of love, laughter, and a few family secrets whispered in a language Anna is determined to learn. Coming of Age Adventures: From roller-skating down the steepest hill to riding the trolley all by herself, share in the small moments that feel like the biggest adventures when you’re eight years old. Based on a True Story: Inspired by the real childhood of the author’s mother, this story brings a pivotal moment in American history to life with genuine heart and charm.
