In the 1890s, a little girl by the name of Daisy lived in Grafton, Vermont.  Daisy was the only African American girl in her class.  For the last day of school, the teacher planned a program for the students to give for the community.  All the girls were given pretty little dolls to carry.  But Daisy was given a very plain looking doll which was painted black.  She was ashamed of the doll and did not want to recite her poem.  Will her grandfather be able to help her?
