The Swag Is in the Socks by Kelly J. Baptist

4.0

This upper elementary/middle grade story is about finding the beauty in being unique. Our main character is raised by extended family members, one of whom shows it is possible to be involved even while not in close proximity. There are solid friendships, though I feel the ending is set up for a sequel with the no-show dance date at the end. For teachers looking to incorporate this one into lit circles or classes, there are service projects concerning socks that would easily connect.
