Esther just wants her mom to hug her and kiss her. She wants to be sure her mom loves her.
Maybe if she keeps track of all the good luck superstitions her mother follows, her mom will love her more.
In the midst of the Great Depression her family goes through lots of difficulties – and Esther learns what love means.
I highly recommend What the Moon Said by Gayle Rosengren for elementary children and up.
