The Mighty Purple Cottage tells the story of a 6-year old girl named Glinda, her older brother Stevo and her Grandma who live in a beautiful purple cottage by the sea. The tiny cottage isn’t as big as the other homes but the – tiny but “mighty” purple cottage is filled with love and laughter. Sadly, two monsters don’t like the purple cottage and vow to tear it down. Glinda’s family loses their home and it makes her very sad.
Each year, millions of children lose their homes to fire, floods, financial hardship and many more reasons. This book explains that it’s ok to be sad, or even mad when you lose a home. Afterall, a home represents security, family, and good memories.
Glinda cries so many tears that she is whisked away into the ocean where she meets some magical sea creatures who give her advice. An eight-legged octopus who wears a fancy red vest takes her hand and says, “Stay away from the bad and see only the good, Remember the purple cottage not with tears if you could.” A mermaid named Dolly tells Glinda to spread beauty by planting seeds that will bring beauty to all the boys and girls who lost homes.
