Books like Down Down the Mountain by Ellis Credle
Hetty and Hank lived high in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where the winters were harsh and cold. They wanted creaky, squeaky shoes to wear when the snow lay on the mountains like a white blanket and their feet were often cold. They had no money but they did have turnips. On the way to town, they encountered many adventures and faced challenges in the freezing mountain terrain. Their search for shoes turned into a scavenger hunt, and they discovered the most unexpected treasures along the way.
