“When the circus came to Philadelphia, everyone gathered to see the parade. Addy’s favorite part was the performer who walked on tall, slender stilts. Poppa used scraps of wood to make stilts that were just Addy’s size and painted them deep red. When Sam saw her practicing, he named her Addy ‘stilt’ Walker!

Put on Addy’s purple plaid dress with long puffed sleeves and green plaid trim. It’s perfect for her new pastime because it has a pair of matching bloomers for modesty!” (Pleasant Company Catalogue, Holiday 1997)
