Lena dreams of dancing on stage, but she needs a yellow skirt and white shoes to perform in the recital. If she can't find the right costume, will Lena be able to perform?

Inspired by a childhood experience in Romania, Lena's Slippers gives young readers a glimpse of a different way of life. A time when everything wasn't immediately available to be delivered to your door at the push of a button. But the author-illustrator makes the situation easily accessible through the very real dilemma of a child knowing she won't fit in.

A charming tale from yesteryear that every child will be able to relate to.
