The Orange Shoes

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Doris Ettlinger. Delly is happy to go barefoot until her stuck-up classmate teases her about being too poor to own shoes. Delly finds a way to stand out at the Shoebox Social with a little help from her folks and a lot of her own talent: her hand-painted shoes and matching box outshine everyone else's. Realistic illustrations lovingly depict a close-knit rural community.
Reviewer: Melinda Greenblatt
