One of the less racist, less sexist children’s books from the early 1900s I’ve read so far (there is insensitive rep of Native Americans and there’s some toxic masculinity related to fighting and not crying)! This is a fun story about magic and all the ways wishes can go awry. I realized I must have seen a TV adaptation of this book as a kid, because some of the chapters were extremely familiar.
