Hitty: Her First Hundred Years
Hitty: Her First Hundred Years by Rachel Field
1999
Simon and Schuster
"Following the 'life' of a wooden doll may seem like a strangely
passive way of learning American history, but it turns out to
be a remarkably gripping approach. Susan Jeffers's richly
imagined illustrations are definitely worthy of this classic.
Don't let another hundred years slip by without reading this gem!"

Jeffers will surely capture readers of all ages with her lustrous
color art. Loosely reminiscent of early-20th-century illustrations
like Jessie Wilcox Smith, Jeffers's layout that offers illustrations
on every page adds to a volume that is as charming as its subject"
