Written by Betsy Bird, Illustrated by David Small
I enjoyed reading this book. This book is based on a true story and has pictures of the real Madam in the back of the book. This story is about a young girl who wants to explore and hopefully leave her small farming town when she is an adult. She meets the Madam and starts to ride an ostrich! This book is both heart-warming and funny!
