What a wonderful story. I read this story with my third graders and I had to wipe a tear from my eye as I finished the book. This was a great story to share with my students because some know someone who is fighting in Afghanistan but they really don’t know what life is like for those people who are refugees. My students loved predicting and inferring what the sandals really meant to the girls. As a class we came to the conclusion the sandals represented friendship and freedom. My class is hoping that Feroza and everyone like her gets put on the list to come to America. Wow! What a wonderful story.
