What To Do About Alice by Barbara Kerley

What an adorable picture book! Alice is the daughter of Teddy Roosevelt and she is spunky and full of life. She wants to "eat up the world" and there is nothing her father can do about it. "I can be president of the United States, or I can control Alice. I cannot possibly do both." President Roosevelt said. Alice broke all the rules. She did not behave like girls and women were expected to in her time. Alice took charge of her own education, homeschooling herself in her fathers library. She devoured a multitude of books, and would give a report to her father of all she had learned. (Sounds like a combination of unschooling and Charlotte Mason dictation) Alice is an inspiration! Her love of life and determination are a lesson to us all.
