Sensible VS Beauty

This tells a brief but important chapter in the life a very sensible girl named Kate. She is trying to settle for herself what qualities are important in grown ups and in herself. It always makes me remember those conundrums my friends used play " Would you be abountantly rich, astounishingly beautiful or, amazingly brilliant, having only to choose of course. Kate learns about other people and in doing so learns about herself and a very important choice she has to make. A sweet poignant story that leaves me more thoughtful every time I read it.

Sensible Kate

I feel in love with this book as a child. Now that I have an adopted child, this book is very important since it addresses the issues of foster care and adoption. The book is old, but Kate's search for love and acceptance is as current as today. It is a loving, wonderful book of hope. Every child should read this book. Even boys will enjoy the story of Kate's friend and his love of fishing. The story also deals with loss and death. Read this book. It is wonderful.
