Mailing May

In this picture book set in 1914, Charlotte May Pierfstorff wants to visit her grandmother, who lives 75 miles away. Charlotte May's parents can't afford a train ticket for her trip, but they come up with ingenious solution: they mail her. Readers accompany Charlotte May on her extraordinary journey across Idaho, via the mail car of the local railroad, right to her grandmother's house. Based on an actual incident.
