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.
With themes of bullying, racial discrimination, and forgiveness, this is such an important book for children. What I loved most about the book is Wanda's forgiveness, especially when the students didn't even ask for it. This story will go into depth about the perspective of what it is like to stand up for someone.
