In My Shoes: Humor, Beauty, Spirit / Amy Fox

These amazing questions, photographs and pieces of artwork invite parents and children to share some special time together while exploring and discussing the everyday sights, sounds, textures, activities and objects that make up our lives.

Fox, Mezebish, and Sklansky have created a journal of sorts that parents and children can complete together: “Keep the gift of the present by writing your child’s responses in this book.” A large full-color photo or illustration is prominently placed on every page, while underneath are thought-provoking questions. These are cleverly designed questions that allow children to explore their multiple intelligences: auditory, visual, mathematical, kinesthetic, interpersonal. One photo shows a young girl peering around a corner in her house. The text encourages children to think about what she may see, who she might be looking for, and asks readers whom they like to play hide-and-seek with. A watercolor painting of a bubbly claw-footed tub launches a discussion of bubbles: “What happens when you clap your hands with bubbles?” “Can you hide in the bubbles?” “What do they feel like?”…… Some of the questions will concretely show parents a child’s stage of development: Can rocks blow away? What are clouds made of? ……Others will suggest new ways of looking at and interacting with the world-make your shadow look like a tree….. what does a spider web feel like? and experiment with bare feet in the sand…..Sure to encourage parent-child interaction and sharing, this is the perfect gift for families with children of all ages.
