Description

All about the adjustment a toddler makes when her mother returns to work, Mama’s Work Shoes is a humorous picture book that takes on a big emotional milestone with a light hand, by award-winning author Caron Levis and illustrator Vanessa Brantley-Newton.

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!

“Levis’ concept of associating specific shoes with specific bonding activities is charming . . . Dynamic and colorful.” —Kirkus Reviews
