Explanation:
The Hundred Dresses is a children's book by Eleanor Estes, illustrated by Louis Slobodkin. In the book, a Polish girl named Wanda Petronski attends a Connecticut school where the other children see her as "different" and mock her.
Wanda Petronski was a poor Polish migrant living in America. She lived in a place called Boggins Heights where many poor people lived. Due to this, she was hesitant to interact with her classmates. She wore a faded blue dress to school every day which was clean but shabby.
