When relief workers bring used clothing to the refugee camp, everyone scrambles to grab whatever they can. Ten–year–old Lina is thrilled when she finds a sandal that fits her foot perfectly, until she sees that another girl has the matching shoe. But soon Lina and Feroza meet, each wearing one coveted sandal. Together they solve the problem of having four feet and two sandals.

Illustrated by Doug Chayka with warm colors and sensitive brush strokes this book portrays the strength, courage and hope of refugees around the world. The illustrations are evocative of life in the desert.
