I probably wore this book out taking it weekly from my elementary school library in 1962 or 1963. It was most likely a fairly old book at that time. The main character was a little girl who loved to swing on a rope swing probably in her backyard. I think she may have fallen off the swing as part of the story. It had great illustrations.

"What Katy did" by Susan Coolidge. I hope you got to read the sequel: "What Katy did at School"!

Caicos Turkey is correct - "What Katy Did" by Susan Coolidge. Coincidentally, I just remembered it from childhood and have been reading that book and "What Katy Did Next". Here's a lovely site where you can read it, with illustrations and extra links to books mentioned:
