Summary "Little Helpers" by Margaret Vandegrift is a children’s novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around a young boy named Johnny Leslie, who navigates the complexities of childhood independence, responsibility, and morality as he prepares to deliver a Fourth of July oration. Through his various adventures, including encounters with friends and lessons from his mother, the themes of inalienable rights and the importance of personal character begin to unfold. At the start of the tale, Johnny enthusiastically stands on a flour barrel, reciting his understanding of rights and freedom to a small audience that includes Tiny, a young girl, and his stuffed companion, Veronica. His mother's nurturing guidance leads him through discussions about rights, responsibilities, and the sometimes confusing nature of independence. The opening scenes set the stage for a humorous yet insightful exploration of Johnny's experiences, leading to mishaps such as a failed attempt at smoking and a bout of illness. This serves as the foundation for Johnny's growth, not just as a child, but as a thoughtful individual beginning to comprehend the nuances of moral choices and interpersonal relationships.
