This children's book published in 1945 is best for reading aloud to elementary-age students, or as an easier read for a middle school student. It shares the story of a Polish girl who attends school in America and is mocked because she is different from her classmates, especially for wearing the same worn dress to class each day. In an effort to save face, the young girl lies about having 100 dresses lined up at home, and though that doesn't stop her classmates teasing, it does feed her creativity, and she eventually wins a drawing contest in which she submits 100 drawings of dress designs.
