A true classic in every sense of the word. There is a reason why Pollyanna has stood the test of time, despite being published in 1913. This book is the OG of curmudgeon and found family literature. It will make your heart glow with warmth, even if you were born with a heart three sizes too small. Pollyanna is so pure and generous with her joy. Everyone can learn something from her simple yet inspiring message to find something ‘glad’ about every adverse or negative situation - certainly a welcome reminder for me in my own life. 4.5 rounded down to 4
