What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

I mistakenly thought the book name was Hooray for Me, however there seems to be another book by that name which does not have the same subject matter. I recall that the book was based on and from the perspective of children living in a city during the depression. One of the children's names was Libby. La La Libby wearing a toilet paper train rings a bell. One of the children had a family member with what they called "Diet Beetles" (aka diabetes). It was a book my Mom shared with me around 1980 and I believe it was old then. Unfortunately, she shared the book with many friends, the last of which did not return it. I would really like to find the correct name of the book and author so I can attempt locating a copy to share with my daughter. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

it wouldn't be The Dollmaker, would it? It sounds similar.

Hurray for Me by S.J. Wilson. Told from the perspective of 5 year old Bobby Hirshman, in the Great Depression. Libby is a neighbor brat.

Oh my goodness! Lobstergirl, you are beautiful! Thank you soooo much! I can't replace my Mom's first copy, but I can share the story with my daughter. Bless you.

I'm going to put this in adult. Please let me know, Leslie, if this is ya or children's and not adult. Thanks.
