"Amira, look at me," Muma insists.She collects both my hands in hers."The Janjaweed attack without warning.If ever they come-- run."Finally, Amira is twelve. Old enough to wear a toob, old enough for new responsibilities. And maybe old enough to go to school in Nyala-- Amira's one true dream.
But life in her peaceful Sudanese village is shattered when the Janjaweed arrive. The terrifying attackers ravage the town and unleash unspeakable horrors. After she loses nearly everything, Amira needs to dig deep within herself to find the strength to make the long journey-- on foot-- to safety at a refugee camp. Her days are tough at the camp, until the gift of a simple red pencil opens her mind-- and all kinds of possibilities.
New York Times bestselling and Coretta Scott King Award-winning author Andrea Davis Pinkney's powerful verse and Coretta Scott King Award-winning artist Shane W. Evans's breathtaking illustrations combine to tell an inspiring tale of one girl's triumph against all odds.

Comfortable, clean white sneakers for any age (I hope)

Comfortable, clean, and make me look cooler than I actually am
These Bruno Marc white sneakers are my attempt at staying “casually stylish” at 50 without embarrassing my kids or trying too hard. Good news: they’re insanely comfortable right out of the box, fit true to size (13 for the win), and somehow stay bright white no matter what I do. Bad news: they might actually be too white. I keep waiting for them to age a little so I look like a laid-back dad, not a dad who just walked off a mall mannequin stand.
They’re lightweight, cushioned enough for all-day wear, and pair with everything—from jeans to the “I give up” shorts I wear on weekends. Still not sure if I’m cool enough to pull them off, but they make me feel like I might be… which is basically the whole point, right?

Affordable shoes that actually hold up
Size: 8, Color: White
I bought these for my son to wear to a quinceañera since he needed plain white shoes and I didn’t want to spend much for a one-time event.
They ended up being his favorite pair. He’s worn them to school several times a week for the past 7 months, and they’ve held up really well. There’s some normal wear, but they still look good and he says they’re comfortable.
I’m pleasantly surprised by the quality for the price and will likely buy another pair soon.

Very nice look
Size: 13 Wide, Color: Brown
Very nice look, sole is comfortable, inside upper leather is a bit stiff. Not enough to hurt but not soft. I would purchase another color.
