9. Review:
Four Feet, Two Sandals is a realistic fiction story about two refugee girls who share a pair of
sandals. The purpose of the book is to represent two types of issues, immigrations and friendship.
At the end of the story, one of the girls is called to leave to America, leaving the other girl with
one sandal. The major themes of this book are refugees and loss. The book targets young readers
from ages seven to ten years old. The book is properly written to help young readers further
understand the concept of refugees. The story also provides younger readers with insights of their
own problems by also including relationship among two friends and sharing. Karen Lynn
Williams and Khadra Mohammed are two credible authors that have also written another book
called My Name is Sangoel about a refugee kid that leaves his country because of fear.
Additionally, the books illustrations are simple to understand and connect with the text.
