Description



Book Synopsis



Everybody has tantrums--kids, and even moms--in this tender yet funny picture book about an especially impossible-to-put-on pair of shoes.

Even when it's time to put on our favorite shoes and leave the house, and even when that time turns into a tantrum where someone can't stop screaming, or flopping on the floor, or throwing a shoe across the room, and someone is making their maddest face and everyone else is waiting . . . Even then, nothing can come between the loving bond of a mother and their child. Not even a shoe.

With expressive text from bestselling author Julie Fogliano and timeless art from three-time Caldecott honor medalist Marla Frazee, here is a story that takes readers through a downward spiral of a shoe-inspired tantrum and is a reminder that even in moments of frustration, we are always our most loveable selves.
