The Hundred Dresses

This was a great book, and I can't believe I hadn't even heard of it until now. I read this book to my kids. I had such a similar experience in school, it was eerie to read of another girl's experience with the same teasing of a classmate, and feeling guilty for not doing the right thing and standing up for them. It was a great book to show my kids that it doesn't feel good to belittle someone else.

I can remember reading this when I was
a little girl. I remember feeling so
sad for Wanda, wearing her same faded
blue dress to school every day, who
boasted that she had a hundred dresses
at home. I also remember the ending
and loved how Wanda really did have
a hundred dresses. The consolations
of the imagination.
