A review by tamarayork
The Golden Name Day by Jennie D. Lindquist

4.0

Newbery Challenge 190/415. I was excited to see that this book was illustrated by Garth Williams, who also illustrated the Little House series and Charlotte’s Web. The Golden Name Day reminded me a bit of the Little House books and a smidge of the Anne of Green Gables books. It is quaint and sweet. Just a lovely little story about a year spent with adoptive grandparents in the country.
