$8.90
The Hundred Dresses
The Hundred Dresses

Poignant tale on bullying, bravery, and regret.

"The Hundred Dresses" is not just a book; it's an emotional journey. It's a beautiful narrative that touches on the meaningful themes of empathy and the consequences of our actions. The simplicity of Estes’s prose makes it an accessible read for young readers, yet it’s profound enough to resonate with adults. The story's ability to foster discussions on kindness and courage makes it a valuable read for anyone who's ever felt on the outside looking in.

Description

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.
