Sara is tired of always making gifts for her mother on Mother's day so she decides to save up money and buy her mother a nice pair of slippers. To earn money, she mends clothing for some of her aunt's friends and when she has enough she buys the slippers. On Mother's day, she is so excited to give her mother the gift but is disappointed when her mother doesnt wear them. Later that day Sara's aunt and friends come over to dinner and they all show Sara's mother the mending she did on all of their clothes so that she could by the shoes. Her mother goes back into her room and comes out wearing the slippers.
I thought this book was very cute but it was a little too boring for me. I felt like it needed a little more depth. i dont think i would recomend this book unless someone asked me about it.
i dont see any problems coming from it.
