The Hundred Dresses

This paperback edition of the classic children's story, written by Eleanor Estes and illustrated by Louis Slobodkin, explores themes of bullying, empathy, and social class. The narrative centers on Wanda Petronski, a Polish girl in an American school who is teased by her classmates for wearing the same blue dress every day, despite her claim of owning one hundred dresses. This edition features restored full-color reproductions of the original artwork and includes an introductory letter written by the author's daughter, Helena Estes.
