Book Description:
Out of love from my many friends and my love for children, my children's book entitled 'Winky's Wonderful World of Shoes' was born. I now have 780 shoes in my collection and shoes from 36 different countries.There are many reasons why I think children will be interested in reading my book. It has all kinds of shoes that Winky and his family wear, and there are a lot of shoes from other countries mentioned and pictured. Many children have not seen or have any knowledge of them. My twin granddaughters were born in Kunsan, Korea, and there is a double page showing the type of shoes Koreans wear and the Korean name for them. Also, many Korean customs are in the reading of my book. And did you know that Winky was given a pair of red, magic shoes by the Fairy Godmother so he could travel to different countries?In his magic shoes, he visits Morocco where they leave their shoes on the outside of the Mosque when they go in to pray.In my book, you will learn that Winky's dog, Caesar, wears shoes, too, and can fly?It has been a long time dream of mine that each and every boy and girl everywhere would be able to read my interesting and educational book about shoes from the United States and around the World. I visualize their eyes will sparkle when they read about the Royal Guards of Greece or the Dutch boy and girl dancing in wooden shoes among the tulips.Then I can say that for almost a lifetime of collecting shoes and dreaming of a children's book for every boy and girl to read, could become a reality. What a wonderful feeling it would be to leave a great legacy for all children of theWorld.
