Genre: Children’s lit
Medium: Hardcover
Synopsis: These four friends are going shoe shopping, so they try on every single shoe that fits them…and some that don’t. But it isn’t until the end of the day that they realize that the best shoes of them all are the ones they can create themselves!
Review: I love this book so much, and I love LeUyen Pham’s illustrations so so much. I don’t think I’ve ever held a book that teemed so much with happiness and excitement to the point that I felt like I was on some type of sugar buzz. And it was marvelous. The voices and the illustrations are bright, vibrant, and exude sweetness on a whole other level.
But on a more serious note, I think that this book does a great job at recognizing that femininity isn’t bad or good or anything inherently positive or negative, and that it can be really, really creative. I know a lot can be said on that topic, so I’ll leave it at this because in all honesty, it just really warmed my heart that this was a book that allowed these girls to be feminine without any negative connotations.
