Description
Hetty and her brother Hank want creaky, squeaky new shoes. In the Blue Ridge Mountains where they live there were no shoes of any kind, nor did they have any money. They plant and tend turnips to sell. Their adventures to, in, and from town and the things they bring home tell a lot about what's important.Tags

A copy of this book was in Grandma Siggie's white metal cupboard. I don't remember reading it much, just that it was in her collection.
