Book Description
Several years ago, the author decided to make dolls for each of her granddaughters for Christmas. This was no easy task since there were fifteen granddaughters. As each doll emerged with its own coloring and personality, Rebecca decided to write a story for each doll and the granddaughter it went to. Here are the first two of those stories. Evelyn's story is about loving our country as she goes back in time with her doll to experience the night that inspired the writing of our national anthem. Allie's story is about the joy of giving as she and her doll give a needy couple a wonderful Thanksgiving. These heartwarming stories will bring joy to both children and parents as they read and share these stories together.

Book Description
"In 1904, a doll was given as a gift to a young boy in Key West, Florida. The boy gave the doll his own name - Robert - and the two became inseparable. The doll was blamed for many things, and "I didn't do it - Robert did it" became a catchphrase in Key West. People heard the doll giggle and saw the doll move without help from any human. Voodoo was suspected. Today Robert resides in a protective case at a Key West museum where hundreds of visitors each year experience things not normally associated with dolls. The doll's origins have been questioned for years. This book reveals Robert's true origins: legends surrounding the doll are traced back to their original sources, and the true story of Robert the Doll is revealed."--Amazon.
