Title: Clara and Davie: The True Story of Young Clara Barton Founder of the American Red Cross
Author: Patricia Polacco

Young Clara grew up with a lisp that made it difficult for her to make friends with in school. Her brother taught her and encouraged her to be herself. When he injured himself and  almost gave up, Clara supports him and pushes him to walk as he once had. 

This is a cute story about a brother and sister bond. They support each other through their strengths and weaknesses. The story jumps around a little, not giving it a very good flow but the message of the story is good, to encourage others to be the best person that they can be.
