Synopsis:
Sometimes saying nothing is as bad as saying something mean...
That's what Maddie Reeves discovers in the play The Hundred Dresses, adapted from the 1944 book that has a Newbery Honor and a Caldecott Medal. Set in the 1930's, the story begins when the Petronskis, a poor Polish immigrant family, move to town. When Wanda Petronski tells Maddie's rich best friend Peggy that she has a hundred dresses, Peggy laughs in disbelief, and points out that Wanda wears the same dress to school every day. Why would you do that if you had a hundred dresses? From that point on, Peggy teases Wanda about her dresses. While Maddie doesn't tease Wanda, she does nothing to stop it for fear of being teased herself. Will Maddie learn that it is more important to speak out and stand up for people, even if it is not the popular thing to do?
