Another "bought for the kid" book that I really bought for myself, and decided to read this weekend to refresh my memory.
Ole Golly seems to have a pretty good outlook on life, honestly. As an adult, I recognize more the different signs of wealth and poverty of Harriet's friends, neighbors, and her own family.
When kiddo was smaller, we definitely purposefully dressed him in bright clothes while traveling. Easier to spot than purple socks.
I'm still not quite sure what a "fink" is. 😅

Trying to pack a week and a half worth of work into 3 days means I have barely enough brain cells left to focus on anything too challenging. This book, like a previous one above by the same author, was a decently good time. I did not expect the key hide-and-seek game... 🤭
