"What to Do about Alice?" by Barbara Kerley explores the life of Alice Roosevelt, the spirited and unconventional daughter of President Theodore Roosevelt. Known for her wit and wild energy, Alice defied traditional expectations as she grew up in the White House. With a penchant for adventure, she broke social norms and charmed the public with her charisma. The book highlights her relationship with her father, capturing the playful tension between his strict expectations and her fierce independence. Through vibrant illustrations and engaging storytelling, Kerley showcases how Alice's bold personality left an indelible mark on American history and society.
