American Girl Dolls

Growing up during the Great Depression means a lot of changes for Kit Kittredge. When her father loses his business, the family turns their home into a boarding house to make ends meet.

This means that Kit has to move into the attic, so that her family can rent her room to boarders. She also has to start wearing dresses made from feed sacks to help her family save money. The lack of jobs has Kit worried that her father may have to travel very far away to find a job. Kit Kittredge is very clever, and she works hard to help her family.

Life is not all hard, and some of the changes that Kit goes through help her to see that she can still have fun with very little money. The most important thing that Kit learns is to treasure the things that money can’t buy - family and friends.
