Delly Porter can feel the soft dirt road under her bare feet, and most days she does not mind having no shoes. Delly loves drawing, helping at school, and making beauty from whatever she has. But when a classmate’s cruelty makes her ashamed, the joy she once carried so easily begins to hurt. As the school prepares for a Shoebox Social to raise money for art supplies, Delly must hold on to her own worth in a world where some people judge by what money can buy. The Orange Shoes is a tender historical-feeling picture book about poverty, dignity, creativity, and kindness. It speaks to readers who understand how powerful teasing can feel, while gently showing that value is not measured by possessions.
