Summary "The Story of the Red Cross as told to The Little Colonel" by Annie F. Johnston is a children's book written in the early 20th century. This tale is embedded within the larger "Little Colonel Series" and introduces young readers to the principles and history behind the Red Cross. The story revolves around themes of compassion, bravery, and the importance of humanitarian aid during times of conflict. In this narrative, young Lloyd Sherman, known as the Little Colonel, encounters a heroic St. Bernard dog named Hero while vacationing in Geneva, Switzerland. After Hero saves her from a runaway carriage, a heartfelt friendship develops between the dog and the little girl. Through conversations with Major Pierre de Vaux, Hero's owner, Lloyd learns about the origins and significance of the Red Cross, including the contributions of Clara Barton in America. The story culminates in a reflection on the importance of kindness and service to others, showcasing how both the dog and the organization embody these values amidst the horrors of war. As the Little Colonel grows, she shares this poignant history with her own child, illustrating the enduring legacy of compassion. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
