What a delightful, charming, inspiring picture book biography!  It tells of the childhood of Clara Barton, describing her relationship with her older brother and detailing several experiences that served to nurture her interest in nursing, culminating in an accident which nearly took her beloved brother’s life, and left him in a depression from which Clara helped him recover.  An author’s note in the back goes on to describe Clara’s later years and her societal contributions as founder of the American Red Cross, as well as the author’s own family connection to this great lady.
