Illustrated by
Doug Chayka.
Lina and Feroza are Afghani girls in a Pakistani refugee camp. When used clothing is distributed, each girl grabs one of a pair of pretty sandals. They decide to alternate wearing the sandals, then become friends. Chayka's tan backgrounds convey daily life in the crowded Peshawar camp, while his use of color in the characters' clothing represents their bright hopes.
