| Summary | "Little Friend Lydia" by Ethel Calvert Phillips is a children's novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a Children's Home during Christmas time, where the motherless and fatherless children eagerly await Santa Claus. The protagonist, Lydia, is a gentle and kind-hearted girl, who wishes not for toys but for a real family of her own, setting the stage for a touching narrative about love, family, and belonging. At the start of the book, the children, dressed in their festive attire, are filled with excitement and anticipation on Christmas Eve, discussing what surprises Santa might bring. Lydia stands out among them for her thoughtful nature, as she hopes for a father and mother instead of material gifts. When Santa Claus arrives, he grants each child their wish but leaves Lydia's heartfelt request unresolved, prompting a promise that he will try to fulfill it. This opening establishes a warm, whimsical tone while foreshadowing Lydia's journey toward finding her true family and the emotional depth associated with her longing for connection.
