The Story of Little Big Blue Walking Shoes - by Gloria Broughton Beavers (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

This is the story of a very poor little girl who lived in the ghetto. One day as she was out walking, she happened to see two raggedy, holey, torn, blue shoes in a trash pile near the dump that had fallen off the truck.

Although the shoes were way too big for her little feet, to her they were the most beautiful shoes she had ever seen. Every day as soon as she rose from bed, she would slip on her big blue shoes, in spite of all her friends making fun of her.

Sometimes she would have visions of candy and sweets at a nearby store, but she realized her poor mother could not afford to buy her candy, as she was barely able to provide food.

So this is simply her story.
