Shirley Hughes is another of my favourite author / illustrators. Daisy Saves the Day is a good picture book for older readers curious about what things used to be like for children. As well as a glimpse into the past, it is also a great story. Daisy Dobbs is sent far from home by her mother to be a scullery maid. Although Daisy works very hard, she isn't very good at housework and longs to be able to go to school again. This could be a good book to read to kids who are having a hard time at school. Perhaps things aren't so bad for them after all!
