"What is a cockalorum? When her father nicknamed Gerry Houston his Little Cockalorum he had in mind the cock who, while it is still dark, eagerly flaps his wings and crows to give the alarm that the day is near. For like the little cock, Gerry's impulsive spirit led her to crow and announce to the world things just as seemingly far off as daybreak is in the dark before dawn. But Gerry did more than her namesake. Her pride and courage made her bring to pass the almost impossible things she heralded in an unthinking, impulsive moment. It was Gerry's spirit and high courage that inspired this book. It is written for the benefit of the many little cockalorums in this world who may find encouragement in the history of a girl who never acknowledged defeat and who could always find a way to the goal she had set herself." -from: Author's Introduction
