Cécile's Gift

Cécile and Marie-Grace volunteer at an orphanage, and Cécile becomes close to a little girl named Perrine. But there are so many children who have lost their families to yellow fever.  When Cécile hears that a benefit will be held to raise money for the orphans in New Orleans, she is determined to take part. But what can Cécile give to the orphans to lift their sad hearts? Includes an illustrated "Looking Back" essay about communities working together to help those in need in the 1800s. This book is the final one in a series of six historical books that weave together the stories of Cécile and Marie-Grace.
