Illustrated by
Niki Daly.
It's summertime and the hardest thing for Sallie Gal is the fancy ribbons her cousin always wears. There's no money for luxuries, with Sallie Gal's father serving in Vietnam. When kind Mr. Wallace gives Sallie Gal ribbons, she struggles with the values her proud mother has instilled. Daly's energetic black-and-white drawings help make the story accessible to new readers.
