Four Feet, Two Sandals
Four Feet, Two Sandals | Karen Lynn Williams, Khadra Mohammed
2 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
When relief workers bring used clothing to the refugee camp, everyone scrambles to grab whatever they can. 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. But soon Lina and Feroza meet and decide that it is better to share the sandals than for each to wear only one. As 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.Four Feet, Two Sandals was inspired by a refugee girl who asked the authors why there were no books about children like her. 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.

Beautiful! It created a wonderful discussion when Chaya read it with me. Why do the girls have to share shoes? What is a refugee? #Pakistan #FoodandLit @Texreader @Catsandbooks

Today it‘s warm enough for my favorite outdoor shoes- my sandals!!! Sietje and I were out in the beautiful 87 degree weather and walked just over 2 miles. Now I‘m going to sit on the back porch and read for a while!

Kaye Great job ! You have very decorative feet. Did it hurt to get tattoos on the tops of your feet ? I hear different parts of your body hurt worse than others for tattoos. 5y
Literary_Siren 87 degrees?!?! No fair! We just got hit with more snow and below freezing temps today! 😭 it was mid 50s the last two days! Damn you Kansas!! 5y

TheBogwitch Someone with legs (almost!) as colorful as mine. 🤗 5y
Soubhiville @kaye yep, the feet are really boney, so it was painful, but it only took about an hour for each foot, and I didn‘t do them the same day. 5y
