Omschrijving
Marcus’ joy over a new pair of shoes reminds his grandfather of an old story about a boy and his adventure-loving shoes.
“This story is great fun to share with young listeners, who will giggle each time the shoes make their way back to Ariba and will be delighted to recognize Ariba’s shoes at the end. Older readers will appreciate the gentle thread about staying connected to one’s roots. The vibrant, printlike illustrations—in bold colors, emphasizing red, yellow, and green, on thick, soft paper—perfect the silly yet meaningful story. Marcus and Ariba have brown skin; other characters are fantastical shades of mustard yellow, paper white, rusty red, and charcoal black. Read it, share it, laugh out loud.” —Kirkus Reviews “Mixed-media illustrations in bright red, blue, green, pink, and black fill the pages with collage-style images. How the shoes came back into his possession and who Ariba is are answered in this quirky retelling of an African folktale.” —School Library Journal
