Boys love sneakers. But when a child finds that his toes have outgrown
his favorite shoes, and they've gotten too dirty and smelly, his mom
says it's time for a new pair. Resistant to let go, the boy reminisces
about all the good times he's had with his favorite kicks on the city
streets. There's the paint splatter from his masterpiece and the drip
from a Popsicle. There's the scuff from when he fell off his skateboard.
And there are those frayed laces that he learned to tie in bows and
doubles. A new pair just won't be the same. But, with bigger shoes to
fill, the boy realizes new adventures await him. Maybe he could paint a
little better? Or skate a little faster? This new picture book from the
bestselling author of I Am Yoga explores the love and pride that kids
have for their sneakers and the joy that can be found in growing up,
growing out, and moving on.
