This Newbery Honor classic, illustrated by a Caldecott Medalist, is a
beautifully written tribute to the power of kindness, acceptance, and
standing up for what's right.
Wanda Petronski is ridiculed by her classmates for wearing the same
faded blue dress every day. She claims she has one hundred dresses at
home, but everyone knows she doesn't. When Wanda is pulled out of school
one day, the class feels terrible, and classmate Maddie decides that she
is "never going to stand by and say nothing again."
A timeless, gentle tale about bullies, bystanders, and having the
courage to speak up.
