About This Book

Jeremy desperately wants the cool black high-tops with two white stripes that every other kid at school seems to have. But Grandma says there is no room in their budget for want, only for need. A deeply honest and quietly moving story about desire, disappointment, and the surprising joy of giving something precious away.
