The Giver...do characters wear shoes?

by Ellis

Mar 28, 2012

My son and I are working on her project...

We have the grey toga like clothes drawn for the characters but he is unsure if they wear shoes. I am not familiar enough with this book to say if they do. (The book is at school, we are on spring break and trying to get ahead)

Can anyone help?

Thanks, Elis
