Because she's black, Ella Mae isn't allowed to try on shoes. Her mother traces Ella Mae's feet on a piece of paper, and the salesman looks for a pair of shoes that will fit. Ella Mae is upset. But not for long. She and Charlotte have a plan to rectify this humiliating experience! Susan Lynn Meyer's charming characters and the compelling situation, along with Eric Velasquez's beautiful paintings, tell a deeply moving and thought-provoking story.]]></description><link>https://glac.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S185C1878287</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://glac.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S185C1878287</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Meyer, Susan Lynn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://glac.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1878287185</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=GLDL22202&amp;password=CC91205&amp;Value=9780823433667&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[New Shoes]]></title><description><![CDATA["In this historical fiction picture book, Ella Mae and her cousin Charlotte, both African American, start their own shoe store when they learn that they cannot try on shoes at the shoe store"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://glac.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S185C1550538</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://glac.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S185C1550538</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Meyer, Susan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://glac.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1550538185</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=GLDL22202&amp;password=CC91205&amp;Value=9780823425280&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Sound That Jazz Makes]]></title><description><![CDATA[An illustrated history of the origins and influences of jazz, from Africa to contemporary America.]]></description><link>https://glac.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S185C1664140</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://glac.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S185C1664140</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Weatherford, Carole Boston]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://glac.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1664140185</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=GLDL22202&amp;password=CC91205&amp;Value=9780761457329&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[My Friend Maya Loves to Dance]]></title><description><![CDATA[Maya loves to dance, leap, pirouette, and bow in tutus and leotards or kente cloth and cowrie shells.]]></description><link>https://glac.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S185C1427056</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://glac.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S185C1427056</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hudson, Cheryl Willis]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://glac.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1427056185</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=GLDL22202&amp;password=CC91205&amp;Value=9780810983281&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jesse Owens]]></title><link>https://glac.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S185C1333922</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://glac.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S185C1333922</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Weatherford, Carole Boston]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://glac.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1333922185</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Fastest Man Alive</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=GLDL22202&amp;password=CC91205&amp;Value=9780802795502&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item></channel></rss>
