    The Woman Who Lived In A Shoe -...

    Yes, her house did look like a shoe and she did have a LOT of children (actually they were all her grandchildren so don't judge her) and she often did not know what to do. But she was a prudent and loving lady who took all 16 of them in and they somehow managed to not just grow, but thrive and grow healthier on the little food she could afford. That and of course the spanking they all got to help them grow.  Perhaps it was the love that she gave them all with great abundance. She may be short on food and their beds may be cramped and their clothes patched and old, but there was never a lack of love for any of them in her 'shoe' home. 
    This story finally gives us the 'true' facts of how this all came about, both how she had so many children to care for and how her house gradually came to resemble a gigantic shoe. You know you want to know how this happened, don't you? I certainly did and am much happier now that it is all explained fully and neatly. Give it a listen!

    “A fun story of two bicycle enthusiasts who accidentally meet and develop a friendship . . . Full of musings about potential that can be inspiring.” —School Library Journal   Maurice rides his bike to his shop every day. Lotta rides her bike to collect sticks every day. Both go about their separate routines, unaware of the friendship that awaits them just a few blocks away. But what happens when a branch and a lemon peel get in the way? This delightful falling-in-like story from acclaimed picture book creators Carter Higgins and Zachariah OHora celebrates the power of coincidence to lead us to the friends we're meant to meet all along.  “A fun, clever book about two bike-loving animals who take different paths to work every day . . . Carter Higgins’ writing is spot on, and Zachariah OHora’s bold and colorful illustrations are fun and inviting.” —Book Riot  “[This] gentle story celebrates the ways in which serendipity can lead to friendship and sharing.” —Booklist  “A sweet, quiet, different take on the familiar new-friendship trope . . . Readers will meet endearing new pals.” —Kirkus Reviews  “This quirky anticonsumerist fable imagines a town in which uses can be found for the things most people abandon, small enterprises flourish, and communal kindness makes life rich.” —Publishers Weekly  “Maurice and Lotta’s tale keeps the reader guessing, and the meet-cute ending is satisfying. OHora’s art is as fresh and funny as ever.” —The Little Crooked Cottage
