Many requests later, SSR has finally answered the call to cover The Hundred Dresses. Written by Eleanor Estes, published in 1944, and granted a Newbery Honor in 1945, this beautiful little book tackles the well-trod bullying narrative with a uniquely soft and empathetic hand. It creates space for conversations about what it means to play the bystander to bad behavior, rising above one's bullies, what justice looks like, and everything in between.
Kirsty Greenwood was once a book editor, but is now a full-time writer of love stories that make readers belly laugh and ugly cry, including The Love of My Afterlife. Follow her on Instagram @kirsty_greenwood.
