Molly loves to dance. And she desperately wants some silver shoes to wear to her first dance class. But her mum says she has to wait and see if she likes the classes first. Nearly all the other girls are wearing silver shoes. To make things worse Molly's best friend is one of them. But when Molly is dancing she has so much fun she doesn't even notice her ordinary shoes. Illustrated with exuberant emotive watercolors this warm and enchanting book realistically conveys a conflict every family will recognize.
