This Room Is Mine

This book is one I had as a little girl and it really imprinted on me. I have thought of it many times over the years but I couldn't remember what the name of the book was. One day I started googling things I could remember from the story and I finally found out what the book was called. I started watching for one I could buy at a price I could afford online but I wanted the exact same edition I had when I was little so it would have the same pictures I remembered. It wasn't the one with the yellow cover. The front cover showed a red brick wall with Chris in the window with her horse and all her children (that she imagined having on her side of the room and rug). That was my favorite part of the book when she said she would have her own Christmas tree, on the game box, and her very own horse, on the rug. “All her children (about 35 pictured with many lines full of clothes, blankets and rows of socks over head) would live there with her and never step over the rope.”

I finally got my book again on ebay and it is just like I remembered it. It really brings back memories.
