Love My Shoes!

Love My Shoes!

About the Author Eileen Spinelli has been writing since her father first gave her his old manual typewriter with a broken Z. Through school, work, marriage, children, and grandchildren, she wrote and wrote and wrote. Eileen's lyrical verse has graced the pages of more than 35 children's books, most recently Two to Cuddle from CandyCane Press. She is a featured poet in Ideals magazine and lives in Wayne, Pennsylvania, with her husband and fellow author, Jerry. There she continues to write in her cozy office on the second floor of their home, with an electric typewriter. Holli Conger's artistic talent was evident from a very early age when her third-grade art teacher presented her with a big green pencil case (which she still has today) for having the best drawing in the class. Today she is a digital and dimensional illustrator who approaches each project with whimsy and creativity guaranteed to put a smile on the face of any child (or parent). She lives in Nashville, Tennessee, where her husband, daughter, and goofy basset hound, give her plenty of inspiration. A celebration of shoes for the youngest fashionista! Every little girl loves shoes, and here's a celebration of shoes of every kind! In Eileen Spinelli's charming verse, readers will find: Old shoes. New shoes. Red shoes. Blue shoes. Shoes to run in, chase the sun in. Paired with Holli Conger's unique 3-dimensional artwork and an innovative ribbon spine treatment, this book overflows with excitement and style. It was created for little girls, but don't be surprised if big girls find it equally appealing! Ages 2-5.
