Ella Mae is over the moon to be getting her first ever pair of new shoes, but when she goes to the shoe store, the clerk does not let her try them on because she is black. After telling her friend about what happened, they decide to take on odd jobs and ask for used shoes as payment. Once they collect them all, they refurbish them and open their own shoe store where everyone is allowed to try on as many shoes as they want. I thought this story was heart warming and provided a great message of perseverance. It shows children that they can find their own solutions to problems, even if society is against them. I think it showcases the obvious negative aspects of discrimination, but provides a hopeful outlook and positive message as well.

You are The Greatest!
