Understood Betsy by Dorothy Canfield Fisher
5.0
This is an old favourite of mine, an equivalent to comfort food: I love to read about Betsy growing in confidence as she masters both smaller and bigger challenges.
Rereading it also made me notice how many female characters populate that book; Cousin Ann, in particular, is quite memorable.
Canfield Fisher established the Montessori method in the US and her beliefs in regards to this pedagogic approach twine through this book. In fact, this children book gives a nice first insight into the Montessori method.
