Summary
Tired of the scratchy shirts he receives as a birthday gift from his grandmother every year, David throws his latest present out the window to the shock and disbelief of his family, in a coming-of-age tale dealing with family tradition and personal liberation.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Receiving the yearly birthday gift from his grandmother has become Davidâs living nightmare. The âsurpriseâ she always has for him never varies. How can he stop this never-ending flow of stiff, white, scratchy shirts â âperfect gentlemenâ shirts that make him squirm and pull and shift and twitch? David closes his eyes and imagines a long line of shirts â one for every year of his life â stretching on forever. Then suddenly, without really intending to, he has done the unthinkable.
âDAVID!â his mother screams. And when David opens his eyes, there are his mother, his father, and his bubbie staring at him. The shirt is no longer in his hands. He has thrown it out the window! Now it is out on the street, in the jaws of his dog, and the very merry chase is on.
Bitingly funny and keenly observed, My New Shirt is graphically presented as a photo album commemorating Davidâs desperate act of liberation from a family tradition badly in need of a change.
