Katy is a girl on the cusp of adolescence. She has all kinds of plans for what she wants to do when she grows up. She thinks of ways in which she can be a good person, and a credit to her family, but when it comes to implementing them in her day-to-day life, she generally just gets into trouble.
After an accident leaves her bed-ridden, Katy is forced to rethink her ambitions and her relationship with her family. Katy finds the courage to remember her daydreams and the delightful plans she once schemed. How she achieves this is the plot of the much-loved book, ‘What Katy Did’.
At the end of the book she becomes the heart of the home, beloved by her family for her unfailing kindness and good cheer.
‘What Katy Did’ is an 1872 children’s book written by Sarah Woolsey under her penname Susan Coolidge.
