With her infectious cheer, she is soon convincing some of the town’s most troubled residents to rediscover the things they’re glad about, until even her sunny disposition is tested.A classic of the Golden Age of Children’s Literature, Pollyanna has become a synonym for optimism, and inspired countless readers to find hope in the hardest of situations.
