| Summary |
"What Katy Did" by Susan Coolidge is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around the spirited and imaginative Katy Carr, the eldest daughter in the Carr family, who is tasked with caring for her younger siblings while navigating the challenges of childhood, responsibility, and growing up without their mother. The novel explores themes of familial love, personal growth, and the importance of resilience. At the start of the story, Katy Carr is introduced in her idyllic childhood home with her five siblings and their kind father, Dr. Carr. Katy is portrayed as an adventurous girl with grand dreams, often getting into mischief while trying to balance her playful nature and the expectations placed upon her by Aunt Izzie, who helps raise the children. The opening highlights Katy's interactions with her siblings and sets the stage for her character development as she learns to embrace both the joys and trials of family life while embarking on a journey of self-discovery and responsibility. This exploration of childhood, along with vivid descriptions of their playful escapades and the bond among siblings, draws readers into a charming and relatable world.
