“Stories are a great way for kids to give themselves some distance and think about the feelings of others,” author R.J. Palacio says. (Wayne Brezinka/For The Washington Post)
Wanda Petronski is the quietest kid in Classroom 13. Her classmates pay attention to her only when they want to bully her — for her funny last name, her shabby clothes and, most of all, her absurd claim that she has “a hundred dresses” all lined up in her closet.
Little do they know that Wanda really does have 100 dresses: They’re just made out of pencil and paper rather than cloth, and she drew them all herself. Wanda’s drawings win the class art contest, but not before her father pulls her out of school. Her classmates feel terrible for having driven her away, and two of them — Maddie and Peggy — must try to find a way to make things right.
