Poppy's Presents

"Poppy's Presents" by O. F. Walton is a heartwarming children's story from the late 1800s that follows the life of Poppy, a sweet girl whose world turns upside down when her family faces hard times and she suddenly finds herself caring for twin babies, a "present" that changes everything. The book looks at the meaning of duty, affection, and what it means to mature when life throws you a curveball. We see Poppy as a child with a warm heart, excited to be done at school, only to come home to even bigger challenges and surprises. As Poppy takes on these new responsibilities, the tale shows how important family, community, and love are during tough times.
