Master of the shoe is a wonderful book which I have enjoyed reading to my children. It emphasises the importance of resilience and perseverance. The colourful illustrations keep young children engaged whilst teaching them the important life lesson of “never giving up”.

My 3 year old absolutely loves this book and it has become a regular bedtime reads. She has almost ‘mastered the shoe’ herself! The illustrations are great and who doesn’t love a good rhyming story. Would be great if this became a series.

I read this story to my four year old daughter and it instantly became her favourite book. Master of the Shoe teaches resilience in a way that is relatable to kids and will also give them a chuckle or two. Highly recommended.
