"SHOE GARDEN & OTHER SHOE STORIES", is filled with thought provoking ideas using shoes as a metaphor for life accompanied with colorful illustrations.

A child's day is for dreaming about who they are and who they will become. These stories show how shoes can inspire their imagination.

A parent/teacher guide is available on www.shoebanter.com to help encourage creative thought.

THE STORIES:
"SHOE GARDEN", How does your shoe garden grow? By two of course in colors of rainbows
"SHOE DREAMS", Each one tells a story, of its lifetime glory, each stand on its own, characters renown.
"WHEN SHOES CAN FLY", Life's journey is meant to walk on the earth, but if my shoes could fly, I would soar so high
"BUTTERFLY SHOES", All who watch embrace the view of fluttering wings on butterfly shoes
