Little Blue Shoe
Little Blue Shoe was inspired by an actual shoe that laid in the median of a Highway. I developed this story in light of that blue sneaker which became a quest for finding a lost item; the main character’s mother teaches her daughter how to backtrack to find a missing item. This story is about an adventure into sometimes obscure places to recover something that is lost. Little Blue Shoe teaches a child how to think, exude patience and learn some lessons on safety along the way.
