The Red Heels

The Red Heels is a magical love story that captures the attention of the reader as wells as the imagination of the listeners. My daughters and I checked this book out from the library and were so captivated by the story and the beautiful illustrations that we decided we wanted to add it to our library. It's beginning details the life and work of a colonial cobbler and continues as you journey with Jonathon into a mysterious forest and are wisked away into a magical night with Rebecca and her magic shoes. Ideas of loneliness and lost love play upon the readers sympathies until it is revealed that the power of love is living among common people and satisfies you with the revelation of the magic that can last even there; if love abides. To us this was a great colonial fairytale! All girls want to dance with the one they love - once upon a starry night sky . . . in red heels.
