| Summary | "Boys and Girls of Colonial Days" by Carolyn Sherwin Bailey is a collection of children's stories written in the early 20th century. This book immerses readers in the lives of children during the colonial era, offering a glimpse into their adventures, daily activities, and the values they held. Each story highlights different aspects of their experiences, such as facing challenges or participating in historical events, ultimately showcasing the spirit of resilience and creativity. The opening of the book introduces us to Love Bradford, a ten-year-old girl stranded in Amsterdam as a Pilgrim, waiting for her father's return after he was imprisoned for his beliefs. The narrative unfolds her struggles and new life in Holland, where she finds warmth and friendship with Jan, a local boy. As she adapts to her surroundings, Love's journey is one of both patience and hope, symbolized by a pink tulip that she eagerly tends to, representing her longing for her father's return. This setting establishes a foundation for the rest of the stories, which continue to explore the themes of growth, community, and the everyday lives of colonial children.
