From this beginning, friendship develops, but when Lina and her family are given permission to resettle in America, the two girls face being parted. At first each girl keeps her sandal to herself, but eventually they decide to share the pair, alternating days. When relief workers pass out used clothing, Lina finds one yellow sandal with a blue flower on it, but discovers that its companion has been claimed by Feroza. Lina and Feroza have both fled war-torn Afghanistan with their families, heading for the relative safety of nearby Pakistan. Co-authors Karen Lynn Williams and Khadra Mohammed spin an immensely poignant tale of two girls living in a refugee camp in Four Feet, Two Sandals.
