"I've got a hundred dresses."
Nobody can believe it—
Wanda wears the same old blue
dress every day. ' 'A hundred
dresses— all lined up!"
If Wanda really does have a
hundred dresses, she's
certainly keeping them hidden .
but why?

The Hundred Dresses

WANDA wears the same faded blue dress to school every day—yet she says she has one hundred beautiful dresses at home, "all lined up." The other girls don't believe it, and when Peggy starts a daily game of teasing Wanda about the hundred dresses, everyone joins in. Maddie, Peggy's best friend, goes along with the game, but she secretly wonders whether she can find the courage to speak up in Wanda's defense. 

It's not until Wanda fails to come to school one day that her classmates learn the truth about the hundred dresses—and Maddie and Peggy learn the meaning of kindness and generosity of spirit. 

ELEANOR ESTES'S heartfelt story, a Newbery Honor Book and a beloved classic for more than sixty years, offers readers of all ages a timeless message of compassion and understanding.

A story every young girl should read. ❤️

Hundred Dresses

B. K.

A simple story about regret, loneliness, and compassion, with a naively optimistic ending. Sometimes you're the ostracized, sometimes the bully; sometimes you never get the chance to apologize for childhood wrongs and can only imagine, like Maddie does, scenarios in which you behaved as your ideal self instead.

This is a beautiful and terribly sad story. That's all I have to say about it.
