In the early 1900’s, Johnny Gruelle wrote and illustrated a book of children’s stories about a kind, red-haired rag doll. The book was titled Raggedy Ann Stories and the doll, of course, was Raggedy Ann. This ever-smiling doll has captured the hearts of millions with her sweet, cheerful disposition and her good nature towards all. The stories about her adventures convey such noble virtues as forgiveness, joy, love, peace, and trustworthiness, which makes them good, moral food for children.
