SOPHIA’S GIFT by Karen B. Kurtz is the true story of a wounded Confederate soldier and his friendship with a little girl — the doll he gives her is currently housed at the American Civil War Museum in Richmond, Virginia. Crisp watercolor illustrations, a simplistic storyline, and history itself give kids a look at how other children lived during the War Between the States (1861–1865). Parents and caregivers may want to develop a list of answers to what could be some complicated questions their children might ask about the Civil War.
