How important is a pair of shoes?
Are those new shoes you’re wearing today, “just” shoes? Join Anaiya, a charming little girl, as she takes you on a journey that highlights the story behind a new pair of shoes given to her by her grandmother. Meet truck drivers, farmers, factory workers, and store workers, all people who played a role in bringing Anaiya’s new shoes to life.
The conversation and journey continues on the Dream Village website, where kids and grownups can learn more about the topics presented in the book and find opportunities to take action and do something about the topics that inspire them. 100% of the proceeds from the sale of Just Shoes are donated to relevant nonprofit organizations based on the votes cast by readers on the Dream Village website.
