“WHEN SHOES CAN FLY”, Life’s journey is meant to walk on the earth, but if my shoes could fly, I would soar so high!
“BUTTERFLY SHOES”, All who watch embrace the view of fluttering wings on butterfly shoes!

Hott Review:

Some of the rhymes and drawings were okay but for some of us OCD types this wasn’t a good choice. My daughter couldn’t focus on the words because she didn’t like that someone colored outside the lines. I enjoyed the some of the poetry but it was confusing to her because it requires imagination and focus. I believe that this will appeal to a more artsy & imaginative family.

I love to read! But I don't always think the synopsis on the backs of books do them justice. I do, however, believe all books should come with an intended rating - or at least a steam FYI. So, I'm taking upon myself to educate all -- christian & secular readers, alike -- on the books behind the synopsis and the possible things you may not want your YA reader to see. Enjoy!
