Bookroo's summary
Dyamonde craves red high-tops, but her mom's lesson on needs leaves her with few outfits. When she discovers a friend's deeper struggles, Dyamonde's determination to help reveals the true value of friendship. Will she find a way to balance her desires with compassion?
From the publisher
Dyamonde really wants red high-top sneakers. Too bad they’re so expensive! A classmate tells her it’s her mom’s job to give her what she needs, but when Dyamonde tries that argument, her mom teaches her a lesson by literally only giving her what she needs. Now Dyamonde is down to almost zero outfits! But then she finds out one of her friends has it much worse, and she’s determined to do what she can to help. Coretta Scott King Award winner Nikki Grimes’ third book starring the unstoppable Dyamonde Daniel will delight fans and new readers alike, with energetic storytelling, relatable situations and Dyamonde’s spitfire personality.
