Never out of print since its 1944 publication, this tender
story offers readers of all ages a timeless message of
compassion and understanding. At its heart is Wanda
Petronski, an immigrant girl in an American school, who is
ridiculed for wearing the same faded blue dress every day.
When she tells her classmates that she has one hundred
dresses at home, she unwittingly triggers a game of teasing
that eventually ends in a lesson for all. In restoring the reproduction of Louis Slobodkin's artwork,
this new edition recaptures the original vivid color. And to
celebrate the book's enhanced beauty, Helena Estes, the
daughter of the author, has written a new letter to readers
about the true story behind The Hundred Dresses.
