This was a book passed to me by my mother in the early 1950s. I think it might have been published in the early 20’s-40s maybe? It was a small book in size, grayish cover, with real photos. As I remember it, there was a young girl (maybe blond with curls) in a hospital. She got her name Topsy Turvy because she had to be hung in some manner that put her upside down, maybe? I believe she was an orphan and was eventually adopted – similar to “Daddy Long Legs”. The only reason I think this is a different book from that is I clearly remember a lot of hospital pictures in it.
My mother was a nursing student in Boston in the early 40s so it maybe it was something they produced?
Could it be “Topsy Turvey and the Gold Star” by Isabel Anderson. You can read the text online at the Hathitrust.org site.
OhOhOh my goodness! That is it….thank you do much. My mother was an R.N. and got her training in the 1940s at Boston’s Children’s Hospital. I suspect that is why she had the book.
