Read an Excerpt

From The Red Shoes, written by Eleri Glass, illustrated by Ashley Spires:



"My feet huff, puff

like two tired trains.



So many shoes

squatting on the shelves,

white and brown, lace-ups

and boots.



My eyes hunt,

my toes tingle.

They call me from the corner,

ruby whispers,

shiny silver giggles.



I slip my hands inside

and walk them across the shelf.

Sing a tiny shoe tune.



Mom picks up the lace-ups.

I pull on her hand.

'The Red ones, Mom.'"
