The Hundred Dresses (1944) is a children’s book written by Eleanor Estes. The book is illustrated by Louis Slobodkin. It is a story of a young girl, Wanda Petronski, from Poland. Wanda’s family migrated to America and she joined school in an American town, in Connecticut. The children at the school found her different. She was bullied and mocked.
However, Wanda proved her unusual talent in a drawing competition and won it with much praise. The children who humiliated her were filled with remorse and Wanda, as dignified as always, earned their respect. (Excerpts from this book are given in Class X textbook—First Flight, published by NCERT in 2007).
• There are many people who have prejudices against others on the basis of social, economic, racial, and ethnic differences.
As a result, they do not recognise their talents and qualities. Perhaps, they do not know that, what matters is what we do and not who we are. After reading the excerpt, write a diary entry as Wanda, describing your feelings clearly.
