Black high-tops with two white stripes…everyone at school is wearing them. Well…everyone except for Jeremy. How Jeremy longs for those shoes, especially when one of his shoes comes apart in the middle of a kickball game. Grandma says that she can’t afford to buy the shoes that he WANTS when he NEEDS new winter boots. Luckily, Jeremy finds a pair at the thrift store and they look just like new! Learn how two small shoes teach Jeremy the meaning of friendship.
