Kirsten's Promise — Janet Beeler Shaw

In Kirsten's Promise, Kirsten meets Ezra, a little boy who is living out of an overturned wagon. Thinking that his mother will soon return, Kirsten promises not to tell anyone about the boy. But she soon regrets that promise with all of her heart.

After you read Kirsten's story, make a crown of fresh flowers just as children traveling in wagon trains did.
