The Story of Patsy

At a free kindergarten in a rough neighborhood, Miss Kate meets quarrels, worries, and small daily troubles with patience and humor. But the story’s heart is Patsy, a neglected little boy whose hard life makes every kindness matter. As he is welcomed, cared for, and comforted, the kindergarten becomes a place of safety and dignity. This moving classic shows how steady love can bring peace to a wounded child.
