When Mama takes her four girls back-to-school shopping, each finds her heart's desire--except the youngest, Poppy, who only wants "Polka Dots!" That night, her sympathetic sisters use colored markers to cover Poppy's white dress and sandals with colorful dots, to her heartwarming delight. Bright gouache and pen-and-ink art captures the girls' creativity and resourcefulness in this child-minded story of sisterly devotion.
