Mama's Shoes

This loving tribute to the bond between mother and child is a soothing picture book for any toddlers experiencing separation anxiety, with tear-out cards to give to Mom in the back

This heartwarming story from bestselling illustrator Vanessa Brantley-Newton and award-winning author Caron Levis is a celebration of hard-working moms everywhere—and the children who love them.

Perry knows all of Mama’s shoes. She knows that the zip-zup shoes are for skipping and swinging in the park. She knows that the pat-put shoes are for splishing and splashing in the rain. And she knows that no-shoes are for bath time and bedtime.

But one morning Mama puts on click-clack shoes, and Perry wonders what these new shoes are for. When Mama drops Perry at Nan’s house, and the click-clack shoes take Mama away for the whole day, Perry decides she hates these shoes!

Perry later hides the click-clack shoes . . . and all of Mama’s shoes, just in case. Mama then explains that the click-clack shoes bring her to work in the morning, and they will also bring her home to Perry every single evening—clickety-clack fast!
