In "The Orange Shoes" by Trinka Hakes Noble, a young girl named Emma longs for a pair of bright orange shoes that sparkle in the store window. However, her family faces hard times, and Emma learns that material possessions come with a price. Despite her dreams of owning the shoes, she demonstrates resilience and creativity by finding joy in the simple things in life. Through acts of kindness and warmth within her family and community, Emma discovers that true happiness does not solely depend on what we wear, but on love, giving, and the strength of the human spirit.

Golden Sower Award - Primary
This book was recognised in the Primary category of the Golden Sower Award . Just as The Sower sows seeds, symbolizing the agriculture, life and prosperity of the state, the The Golden Sower Award seeks to sow seeds of literacy in children by encouraging them to read. The award became affiliated with the Nebraska Library Association as a committee under the School, Children and Young Peoples Section of the NLA in 1985. In 2016, the committee revised the categories of books in order to better describe the generally intended reading levels of the program. The three categories are now: Picture Books: (formerly Primary) generally appropriate for K-2 children; Chapter Books: (formerly Intermediate) intended to be appropriate for grades 3-5; Novel: (formerly young adult) appropriate for grades 6-8. In 2023, the committee revised and renamed the categories, keeping similar grade level designations, but adding an additional category targeted at high school readers. Each year, thousands of Nebraskas youth participate in the Golden Sower Award by reading titles, talking about the books with others, holding book battles, voting for their favorites, and throwing celebrations for the winners.
