Jo March





Never a baker, Jo March
Tried baking with cornstarch
Her sisters tried to explain
But to Jo, baking was a pain

Love this story!! Watched the new adaption a few years ago. Loved the character of Jo March. She had both strength and vulnerability which was portrayed well. :-)

So cute because this captures how Jo was the studious type , not a homemaker type. Congrats on the win.
