My Kicks: A Sneaker Story!

40 pp. | Abrams | April, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4197-2309-4 $16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Katie Kath. Replacing worn-out shoes can be hard when every tear, stain, and scratch brings up a cherished memory. This story about a shopping trip for new sneakers is full of bouncy rhythms, dance moves, and--eventually--fantasies about the possible adventures to be had in a new pair of yellow kicks. Ink and watercolor art captures an energetic African American boy bouncing around vibrantly rendered cityscapes.
Reviewer: Lauren Causey
