A Home for Spike, by Heather Vogel Frederick
Can a small squirrel in need of a friend find one in the big stone house on the hill? Inspired by the true story of Spike, a squirrel befriended by Mary Baker Eddy’s Chestnut Hill staff, this heartwarming tale blends fact with fiction as it offers young readers a glimpse of daily life at 400 Beacon Street, and the founding of "The Christian Science Monitor." Written by Heather Vogel Frederick, illustrated by Amber Hawks Schaberg.
Full-color illustrations throughout. Historic photos and a brief biography of Mrs. Eddy and some of her key household members are included.
