Description
It's wintertime again, and Jamaica has to wear her brother Ossie's hand-me-down boots. She finds herself envious of her friend Brianna's pink boots with the fuzzy cuffs, and Brianna teases her about her ugly, old "boy" boots. But one word brings reconciliation for the two friends. "O'Brien's warm, realistic illustrations of this vibrant African-American and her lively Asian-American friend are just right." -- Kirkus Reviews
