[eris182]

my mother asked me to find this book, but niether of us can remember the name or author!! Its a series of stories, about a women who helped children get rid of bad habits. she lived in a house with a chandelier on the floor. I remeber one story about a girl who wouldnt take a shower, so the women gave the parents special seeds to plant on her when she got really dirty. I read in second grade, and i really want to find it. Any help?
