Wonderful story-2nd in the series of 2, set in French orphanage

This is a wonderful story of little French orphan girl (called an orpheline) who has wonderful adventures with 19 other little girls in their large house. French holidays and customs are told and the beautiful artwork interspersed on the pages by Garth Williams, (who illustrated The Little House Books) are beautiful. This is the 2nd book in the series of 2. The first is "The Happy Orpheline". These books appeal to boys and girls and are of the reading level of the Little House books. You do not need to read the books in order, as the characters are brought out well in each.
