Happy Birthday, Jamela!

32 pp. | Farrar | August, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-374-32842-0 $16.00
(2) K-3 Disappointed not to get "Princess Shoes" for her birthday party, Jamela glues beads and glitter on the sturdy school shoes Mama buys. Mama is dismayed, but their entrepreneurial neighbor recruits Jamela to make more. In the end Jamela repays Mama and gets her Princess Shoes. South African Jamela's fourth story is a bit unrealistic, but Daly's beautiful watercolors more than compensate for it.
