BLURB:
Hi there, my name is William and I have a question for you!
Would you like to know how your shoes are made?
I invite you to come inside my papa's workshop and learn all the secrets of the ancient art of shoemaking and more.
Let's embark on a creative adventure of fun challenges and life lessons along the way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Excerpt One:
“On Monday, he designs and draws the model on paper. This time, the shoes will be red—my favourite colour. Next, he chooses the shoe lasts.
On the shoe last, he makes the pattern to cut the pieces of leather.
Papa tells me, “The last comes first. When you know what you want, you can plan the steps from where you are to where you want to be.””
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Review: This is the story about a boy and his papa, the shoemaker. See how a boy is mesmerized by every step of the shoe-making process—from cutting to sewing.
“I can’t help but feel you were teaching me more than just how to make shoes this week.”
“Yes, my son. Just like with shoemaking, you can design and create your own life. There are steps to follow and tools to help you get what your heart desires.”
The images were cute and colorful. This is an inspirational tale that illustrates that there’s a solution for every problem. A good read!
Rating: 4 stars
