Despite being published in 2007, it is even more prescient today given the current crises today regarding immigration and loss of homes, resulting in forced migration of various peoples across the globe. This book was inspired by a camp that author Khadra Mohammed worked at in Peshawar, Pakistan. When Lina’s family is put on a list to leave the camp, who will end up with the 2 shoes when there are 4 feet? The girls spend almost all of their time together, talking about their dreams of leaving the camp and completing chores. Lina and Feroza become friends and begin to share the sandals, alternating days wearing them. Summary: This is a very sweet and emotional story of two friends that meet in a refugee camp when each gets only one sandal from a supply truck. Topics Covered: Refugees, Friendship, Empathy, Immigration, Global Community. Written by: Karen Lynn Williams & Khadra Mohammed
