Synopsis

A heartwarming story about a girl's plan to buy her mom the perfect Mother's Day present

Where there’s a will, there’s a way . . . As soon as Sara sees the beautiful black satin slippers in the shoe store window, she knows they’re the perfect Mother’s Day gift for Mama. Sara has always made gifts for her family on special occasions, but this time she’s determined to give a store-bought present—just like grown-ups do. But grown-ups have spending money, and Sara does not. Until she makes a plan . . .

“A gentle tribute to family solidarity. . . . Vigorous and expressive illustrations capture the luminous charm of the book.”—The Horn Book

À propos de l'auteur

Esther Hautzig was born in Eastern Poland (in what is now Vilnius, Lithuania) in October, 1930. When the region was conquered by Soviet troops in 1941, Esther, her parents and her grandparents were uprooted and exiled to Siberia where they spent the next five years in forced labour camps. The family returned home after the war and in 1947 Esther left to go to the USA as a student. Her acclaimed novel The Endless Steppe was inspired by her gruelling wartime experiences. She was married to a concert pianist and had two children. Esther died in 2009.
