Description

A little girl needs new shoes. There are hundreds of pairs of shoes in the shoe store, but they're all the same dull brown or grey -- all except one pair. They're red. Bright red. Fire engine red! And they're exactly what the little girl wants. But how can she convince her mother and the skeptical sales clerk? Simple, lyrical text and charming watercolor illustrations combine to create a delightful picture book that shows how bright, colorful things can lift one's spirits. Set in the 1960s, this book also shows young readers the fashions of the era.
