Summary "Jessie's Parrot" by Joanna H. Mathews is a children’s novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the characters Jessie and her grandfather, as they navigate themes of friendship, charity, and the challenges of poverty. The narrative begins with Jessie facing the challenges brought on by her grandfather's illness, which ultimately leads to her selling her beloved parrot to support him. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Fanny, a schoolgirl who is saying goodbye to her friends as she prepares to leave to travel to Europe with her family. The chapter showcases the dynamics among her classmates, especially their discussions about a new student, Hattie, who is coming to replace her. Fanny's sensitivity and the emotional connection she shares with her friends set the stage for the bonds and rivalries that will unfold. The atmosphere of their school life, alongside the themes of jealousy, kindness, and misinterpretation among the children, hints at the narrative’s exploration of morality and community, culminating in their collective efforts to support Jessie and her grandfather.
