A young boy reminisces about his favourite pair of sneakers and learns a little something about growing up
My 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 onillustrated by Katie Kath.
Kids love sneakers. But when a child finds that his toes have outgrown his favorite shoes, and theyve gotten too dirty and smelly, his mom says its time for a new pair. Resistant to let go, the boy reminisces about all the good times hes had with his favorite kicks on the city streets.
Theres the paint splatter from his masterpiece and the drip from a Popsicle. Theres 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 wont 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 . . .
The text is livelyin prose form, but with a bouncy hip-hop beat that reflects the boys 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. Booklist
