The Homely Child: Or Handsome Is That Handsome Does is a novel written by Daniel Parish Kidder in 1851. The story revolves around a young girl named Mary, who is considered homely by her family and community due to her physical appearance. Despite this, Mary possesses a kind heart, a strong work ethic, and a desire to help others. As the story progresses, Mary's character and actions begin to earn her the respect and admiration of those around her, including her family and a wealthy benefactor. She becomes a role model for others and proves that true beauty comes from within. The novel explores themes of self-worth, kindness, and the importance of inner beauty. It also highlights the damaging effects of societal beauty standards and the importance of valuing individuals for their character rather than their appearance. Overall, The Homely Child is a heartwarming and inspiring story that teaches valuable lessons about self-acceptance and the true meaning of beauty.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
