Katy Did Series

Children's books written by Sarah Chauncey Woolsey under her pen name Susan Coolidge. They follow the adventures of a twelve-year-old American girl, Katy Carr, a tall untidy tomboy, forever getting into scrapes but wishing to be beautiful and beloved. When a terrible accident makes her an invalid, her illness and four-year recovery gradually teach her to be as good and kind as she has always wanted.
