With warm colors and sensitive brush strokes, this book portrays the strength, courage, and hope of refugees around the world, whose daily existence is marked by uncertainty and fear.
When relief workers bring used clothing to the refugee camp. But soon Lina and Feroza meet and decide that it is better to share the sandals than for each to wear only one.Īs the girls go about their routines-washing clothes in the river, waiting in long lines for water, and watching for their names to appear on the list to go to America-the sandals remind them that friendship is what is most important.įour Feet, Two Sandals was inspired by a refugee girl who asked the authors why there were no books about children like her. Read 224 reviews from the worlds largest community for readers. Ten-year-old Lina is thrilled when she finds a sandal that fits her foot perfectly, until she sees that another girl has the matching shoe.
I suspect that there are only a few books for children that increase awareness of the plights of refugee children around the world. When relief workers bring used clothing to the refugee camp, everyone scrambles to grab whatever they can. Four Feet Two Sandals was written by the authors in response to a request from girls in a refugee camp for a story about girls like them.
