*** AWARD WINNER*** NEWBERY HONOR

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.

==================================================

Una historia sobre Wanda, que usaba el mismo vestido descolorido todos los días en la escuela, pero afirmaba tener cien vestidos en casa.

"... para Maddie, ese asunto de preguntarle a Wanda todos los días cuántos vestidos y cuántos sombreros y cuántos de esto y esto otro tenía la estaba molestando. Maddie también era pobre. Por lo general, vestía ropa heredada de alguien. Gracias a Dios, no vivía a la altura de Boggins Heights ni tenía un nombre gracioso."

Esta tierna y encantadora historia tiene hermosas ilustraciones a todo color que transmiten brillantemente el sentimiento y los matices de la historia.

Libro Ganador del premio de honor Newbery.
