A growing boy reminisces about his favorite pair of sneakers and how he enjoyed activities ranging from painting to skateboarding while wearing them until they became too small and worn out. By the author ofI Am Yoga . Simultaneous eBook. 17,500 first printing. - Grand Central PubMy Kicks is a picture book from Susan Verde, the New York Times bestselling author of I Am Yoga, that explores the love and pride that kids have for their sneakers and the joy that can be found in growing up, growing out, and moving onâillustrated by Katie Kath.
Kids love sneakers. But when a child finds that his toes have outgrown his favorite shoes, and theyâve gotten too dirty and smelly, his mom says itâs time for a new pair. Resistant to let go, the boy reminisces about all the good times heâs had with his favorite kicks on the city streets.
Thereâs the paint splatter from his masterpiece and the drip from a Popsicle. Thereâs the scuff from when he fell off his skateboard. And there are those frayed laces that he learned to tie in bows and doubles. A new pair just wonât be the same. But, with bigger shoes to fill, the boy realizes new adventures await him. Maybe he could paint a little better? Or skate a little faster? The possibilities just may be endless . . .
âThe text is livelyâin prose form, but with a bouncy hip-hop beat that reflects the boyâs attitude about his active life in his beloved shoes. Energetic ink-and-watercolor illustrations place the boy in a pleasant urban setting and are well matched to the text. A wonderful ode to shoes, old and new.â âBooklist - Harry N.
