Step Into My Shoes

In a quiet suburb of Paris, Matou passes a mosque on her way home from school and can’t resist trying on some of the shoes she finds outside.Curious about the shoes’ wearers, she begins to imagine the lives they might lead.Why do the trainers of the neatly-dressed boy look like they have never been worn?Why are the ballet shoes of the girl from her school so worn out?With no-one to give her any answers, she starts to imagine the answers for herself.One day, when her mum has to work late, Matou feels frustrated and let down.Can stepping into her mum’s shoes help her build a bridge of understanding between them?A delightful story about empathy in which a little girl takes the expression “to step into someone’s shoes” literally.
