A young girl wears a beloved dress her mother made her while she lives out an ordinary life in Greece. When she and her family immigrate to America, she loses the beautiful dress. Life goes on. She matures and marries. Then one day as she walks down the street, she finds a wonderful surprise in a shop window.
This is a beautiful book, both in illustrations and in words (almost poetry).
I love, love the end pages!
*Highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
Sarah Mackenzie interviewed Ms. Andros last week on her podcast
Read Aloud Revival. The story has its roots in her husband's Greek family.
