I Love My White Shoes Written by Eric Litwin & illustrated by James Dean
Pete is one cool cat! In this vibrant picture book inspired by a song, Pete celebrates his new white sneakers as he saunters down the sidewalk. When he accidentally steps in an enormous pile of strawberries, he readily accepts their new hue: red! Whether his sneakers turn blue or brown or white or wet, it’s all cool for Pete. Kindergartners and their families will love the simple, playful text, and its repetitive structure invites print awareness as well as reading and singing along.
