Happy Birthday, Addy!: A Springtime Story by Connie Rose Porter
3.0
My older editions for this book and the last two in the series have a different illustrator than the ones that I'm used to, and even though the illustrations are still perfectly adequate, they are not as detailed as the previous books' and visualize some of the characters slightly differently. It was hard for me to get over that at first, but this is a good story.
Addy becomes friends with an elderly woman who gives her life advice, figures out how to do Double Dutch with her friend Sarah, encounters streetcar segregation and injustice firsthand, and picks what day she wants for her birthday celebration. This was never one of my favorites in the series, but it's good, and I love the ending.
