Happy Birthday, Jamela!
By Niki Daly
Strikes a chord with any child who has ever dreamt of being a princess.
It’s Jamela’s birthday, and she and Mama are off to buy some new shoes. As soon as Jamela sees the Princess Shoes with their sparkly buckles and little satin bows, she falls in love with them, but Mama points out that she'll have to wear the shoes for school too, so a sad Jamela ends up with sensible black shoes. Alone in her room, Jamela tries her best to make the shoes look princessy with beads, glitter and glue - and only succeeds in making Mama very angry indeed. But a lady called Lilly thinks Jamela’s decorated shoes are fabulous.
- The South African township setting of the Jamela books is refreshingly different.
- Niki Daly's fourth Jamela book.
