Changes for Kit — Valerie Tripp

Cranky Uncle Hendrick has come to stay with the Kittredge family. Kit gets stuck running errands and writing letters for Uncle Hendrick almost every day. Soon his fiery letters to the newspaper and stinging words to Kit have her losing hope for better times. Then a visit to a soup kitchen inspires Kit to try to help the children who are homeless because of the Depression. But how? It is Uncle Hendrick who unknowingly gives Kit a great idea -- and proves to her the importance of hope.
