Reach for this book when you want to help your child understand the difference between wants and needs, or when you are looking for a gentle way to discuss global citizenship and the refugee experience. It is a profound choice for teaching children that friendship and dignity can flourish even in the most challenging circumstances. Set in a refugee camp on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, the story follows Lina and Feroza, two girls who each find one sandal from a matching pair. Rather than fighting over the shoes, they decide to share them, taking turns wearing the pair. This beautifully illustrated story handles heavy themes of displacement and scarcity with a soft touch, focusing on the strength of human connection. It is ideal for elementary-aged children to build empathy and gratitude.
