New Shoes by Sara Varon

5.0

Surprisingly sweet. The illustrations are colorful and bright and the layout pulls you right in to the story. The story itself is simple: Francis makes shoes and gets a commission from a famous singer, but his supply line is compromised and he must discover where his fiber source has gotten to. There's questions of ethical sourcing of materials, trying new things, making shoes for those with different needs, and in the back are the source photos that inspired the illustrations.
