Step Into My Shoes

Reviews / Votes

"A sweet tale grounded in teaching compassion and seeing the world from other perspectives" - Kirkus Reviews "This is a story about how we can develop empathy for others by stepping out of our own world for a while and imagining the kind of life others lead - with their often different views and priorities." - The Letterpress Project "Readers' eyes will be opened through this engrossing and revealing story, and it's a positive as well as a rewarding read. Fotini Tikkou blends the occasional photograph into her illustrations which are as pleasing and illuminating as the text." - Andrea Reece, LoveReading4Kids "As Matou travels through Parisian suburbs on her way home from school, she stops at the local mosque to try on other peoples' shoes, and get a glimpse into their lives. Exciting multi-media illustrations expertly bring to life the important message about having, and consciously developing, empathy for others." - Inclusive Books for Children's Top Pick "Exciting multi-media illustrations expertly bring to life the important message about having, and consciously developing, empathy for others." - Inclusive Books for Children's Top Pick "This endearing story about understanding others is an excellent read-aloud that is likely to spark activities, conversations, and possibly some exchanges of footwear." - The Horn Book
