Dyamonde really wants red high-top sneakers. Too bad they're so
expensive! A classmate tells her it's her mom's job to give her what she
needs, but when Dyamonde tries that argument, her mom teaches her a
lesson by literally only giving her what she needs. Now Dyamonde is down
to almost zero outfits! But then she finds out one of her friends has it
much worse, and she's determined to do what she can to help.
