About this listen
Even when it’s time to put on our favorite shoes and leave the house, and even when that time turns into a tantrum where someone can’t stop screaming, or flopping on the floor, or throwing a shoe across the room, and someone is making their maddest face and everyone else is waiting . . . Even then, nothing can come between the loving bond of a mother and their child. Not even a shoe.
With expressive text from bestselling author Julie Fogliano, here is a story that takes listeners through a downward spiral of a shoe-inspired tantrum and is a reminder that even in moments of frustration, we are always our most loveable selves.
Critic Reviews

★ "Unequivocal love shines through this relatable picture book." —Booklist, starred review
"A funny, wrenching affirmation of a parent’s unconditional love." —Kirkus Reviews
"Fogliano’s stream-of-consciousness, one-continuous-sentence text details a parent’s frustration with a recalcitrant child—but also their mutual unconditional love....Throughout, both text and art portray the situation with authenticity and understanding—and welcome flashes of humor." —The Horn Book
