Based on a true story, Donald Hall weaves Lucy's Summer (c. 1995) from the stories he heard as a child. Michael McCurdy crafts his sketchboard illustrations to look like woodcuts. Here are the opening lines:
Lucy Wells lived on a farm in New Hampshire with her mother Kate, her father Wesley, and her little sister Caroline.
The spring of 1910, when Lucy was seven, her mother turned the front parlor into a millinery shop, to sell hats to her neighbors in the backcountry.
