Shoo - Paperback

This is a heartfelt, amusing, and inspiring story of an individual sneaker named Shoo, who lives in a small town predominantly populated by paired footwear. Being different is often misunderstood and very challenging for Shoo and the other onesies. However, with help from his teacher and a few of his single-soled friends, they make every effort to encourage each other so they may overcome various obstacles by acknowledging their unique qualities, and inner strength, and not allowing their differences and shortcomings to be setbacks or hindrances. Shoo and his friends may reach a point where they become confident enough in their abilities and believe that they are truly valued and wonderfully made. The hope is that having a good heart and a positive attitude may prove essential in understanding that life gets messy and sometimes feels unfair.

So I cordially invite you to join Shoo and his friends along their journey of self-discovery and gain some perspective on how it's quite possible to overcome adversity and look upon our own challenges as they do, as opportunities to grow, trust, and believe that we are all different--but more importantly, we all matter.
