Little Lotta #38

In "Hooray for Me," Lotta’s run for class president takes a surprising turn when her campaign manager, Dot, pushes her to act "like a lady"—a challenge Lotta’s fellow students aren’t quite ready to accept. With her usual energy and confidence on full display, Lotta’s campaign becomes a spirited, heartfelt stand for being true to oneself.

In "Things to Come," Jo imagines a future where every task is handled by machines, but as she explores this world of automation, she begins to see the quiet value in the small, human moments of her present life. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, this brief, thoughtful tale from Little Lotta #38 (1961) gently contrasts the convenience of technology with the warmth of everyday connection.
