Missy Violet and Me
by
Barbara Hathaway
Grades 5-6
Viney a young girl just got asked to deliver babies by a
midwife. In the being of the story Viney didn’t
know anything about delivering babies.
When she delivered her first baby she didn’t know what to do. So at the
end of the story she knew a little bit more about babies. I think that this story was really good because I didn’t know most of the stuff that
it talks about.
In the book Missy Violet
& Me, a girl named Viney has to help Missy
Violet deliver babies because her mother had to pay the fee for the other seven
babies Viney’s mother had. Viney
spends the summer with Missy Violet and she learns about types of plants and
what they are good for. Then Viney has to help
deliver a baby with Missy Violet. This book is a great book but I would only
recommend that people in grade 5 and up read this book. If you are in fifth
grade or another grade over fifth you should read this historical fiction book.
