WELCOME BARBARA Her name "WELCOME BARBARA" is explained better by Barbara herself: "My name's 'Welcome Barbara' but I'm called 'Welcome' most. Barbara is for my Mamma, but my Papa says he just tacked the Welcome on front 'cause that is how I was after six boys." "WELCOME BARBARA" has the faculty of making people happy and bringing sunshine into their hearts. She is full of cute expressions and the intrigue in which she involves the older folks and helps them to attain happiness is told in an admirable way in this story. It is a book that can be read by Mothers and Fathers to the younger children and we know that they will derive as much enjoyment out of it as the younger folks. "WELCOME BARBARA" says: "When you love folks lots you sort of want to be hurt when you have hurted them." Source: Advertisement in The Twins Wedding, Dorothy Whitehill, ill. Charles L. Wrenn.
