The Blurb:
Mia receives a very special pair of shoes from her grandmother, which she believes possess magical powers. After she grows out of her lovely red slippers, she realizes the magic of her shoes comes not from simply possessing them but from wearing them. Struggling with a desire to keep her shoes, Mia ultimately makes the decision to share them with a friend, who will be able to wear and love them, only to then discover that the magic of her ruby-red slippers lives on through her act of giving.
The Review:
There are children's books that we come in contact with that bring that special feeling back into your life. This is one of them. For older kids, the story is fun and inviting. For younger kids, you have to edit the story as you go, but it is still an amazing hit. Even for my 1 year old daughter, it was a fun treat.
This is a great book that not only teaches the value of treasured possessions, but also important life lessons!
I highly recommend it to all parents with kids- girls do seem to enjoy it more than boys though. :0)
