Summary "Little White Barbara" by Eleanor S. March is a children's storybook written in the early 20th century. This delightful tale is part of the "Dumpy Books for Children" series, which is characterized by its colorful illustrations and whimsical narratives aimed at young readers. The book centers on a sweet girl named Little White Barbara, who struggles with her health and appearance as her aunts try various methods to help her gain weight and color. In the story, Barbara lives with her caring aunts, Aunt Dosy and Aunt Posy, who are fixated on making her healthy and rosy-cheeked through unconventional methods such as feeding her cod liver oil and rubbing her cheeks with a towel. However, despite their best efforts, Barbara only becomes paler and thinner. The turning point arrives when Dr. Funnyman sends a lively boy named Tommy to entertain her, sparking laughter and joy. As Barbara begins to play and engage in activities, she quickly becomes rosy and plump, much to the delight of her aunts. The narrative highlights the importance of joy and play in a child’s well-being, emphasizing that happiness can lead to health in a charming and humorous way.
