Angel Shoes / Emily Pound

Angel isn't sure she likes her name. Her mom and doting aunts just love dressing her up in prissy clothes and—worst of all—boring shoes. Angel just wants to go and play in the park. When at last she gets her chance she jumps up and down in a puddle to make her clothes deliciously muddy. Then, afraid of the consequences, she runs away. In the wild part of the park she finds a toddler who is lost and, full of sympathy, she leads him back to the playground. The distressed mother pronounces her a true Angel and buys her the red rain boots she so wanted all along.
