The Hundred Dresses by Eleanor Estes
Explanation:
The Hundred Dresses is a children's book published in 1944. It was authored by Eleanor Estes and illustrated by Louis Slobodkin.
The story is about a young Polish girl named Wanda Petronski who goes to a school in Connecticut. She is being teased and bullied by the other students in her class, especially Maddie and Peggy.
Wanda makes an absurd assertion that she has 100 dresses in her wardrobe as Maddie and Peggy ridicule her faded blue dress. The students mock her over it. The teacher presents a contest of sketches in which the girls are to draw their own fashion outfits. Wanda submits a hundred stunning projects for the contest. Her classmates are shocked at her talent, and realize these must be her hundred dresses. The students who bullied her felt guilty. Unfortunately, she has already left town without knowing she had won the contest. Wanda 's sweet nature and caring heart are later revealed when she asks the teacher to give her drawings to the students.
