Think of a world without problems, without cares, without . . . well . . . shoes! Have you ever stomped through leftover paper like a monster or plunged your feet into a chilly sleeping bag while camping? Maybe you’ve put your soles up against a Jacuzzi jet or found funny marks when you pulled off your socks. If so, you’ll find company in this collection of musings about the beauties of being barefoot. In twenty-six poems, Stefi Weisburd explores where we go, what we feel, and what shouldn’t be underfoot when our feet are at their freest. Lori McElrath-Eslick adds sparkle to these contemplations with lively watercolor illustrations.

Reviews

"This pleasant collection of diverse verse celebrates the feats our feet help us complete and the joys of going shoeless."
