A much-loved Australian classic picture book by award-winning author Elizabeth Honey. The Cherry Dress is a timely story about seasons, the value of things that last, growing up as sisters, and the bonds between families and friends. Now, more than 30 years since it was first published, this child-centred story has returned in a handsome hard-cover to delight a new generation. Proudly printed in Australia.Sally loves her cherry dress. She wears it every day, every summer, everywhere, until she's just too big to wear it any more. She gives it, as a special present, to her little sister Lucy. Then the dress goes to Maria next door, then Vilma-who hates clothes-so Lena wears it. Then, when the dress is all worn out, it goes to Lena's Teddy. When a chance meeting brings wearers together, a special photo is taken and sent to Sally's Grandma, who made the dress for Sally so many years before.
