Overview
Ginnie and Her Juniors. When Ginnie and Geneva want to earn extra money for Christmas, they think first of baby sitting. Initially, most of the mothers feel they are too young. But suddenly, a few mothers begin to show confidence in Ginnie. From wheeling a baby around the block in his carriage, she graduates to entertaining the toddlers, Susan and Tommy, for an afternoon. Her success with these two difficult three-year-olds lead her at last to the grandiose scheme of starting a day nursery, an endeavor in which Geneva turns out to be a disruptive element! But Ginnie is undaunted and once again tests her abilities and comes up with unexpected rewards.
Author Bio
Catherine Woolley worked as an editor and public relations writer in New York following her college years, then returning to her parents' home in Passaic in the 1930s. A prolific writer of over eighty books, Ms. Woolley published so many children's books that her publisher recommended using a pen name for some of her works. She chose the name Jane Thayer - her grandmother's name - which she used for the many picture books she wrote. In the early 1960s, Ms. Woolley moved to Truro, Massachusetts. Ms. Woolley was an easily recognized figure at writing and book events in Truro. She helped start a book club, worked with the Friends of the Truro Library, taught at writing workshops, and held story hours at the library. As a tribute to this author, the children's room in the Truro library is named after Catherine Woolley.
