Book Overview

Two starred reviews

From Caldecott Honor- and Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor-winning author-illustrator Jashar Awan comes a hilarious and "confidence-boosting" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) picture book about the perseverance and positive self-talk needed to learn to tie your shoelaces

This big kid is wearing his first pair of big-kid shoes, the kind with laces Even though they're a little on the roomy side--shoes to grow into, of course--he knows he can take care of them. Except they keep falling off

Not to worry, he'll just tie them up again, because he knows how to tie those loops But wait a second, where did that darn shoe go?

Nothing is ever truly easy when you're just starting something new; but, just like with any stage in childhood, whether it's making your first steps, or going down the really big slide, with persistence, doing anything scary or overwhelming quickly becomes a piece of cake And before you know it, you're a BIG KID
