The next heartfelt picture book from the winning team of Jane Godwin & Anna Walker, about how a precious lost shoe leads a little girl to an even more precious friendship.

Go Go is confident and creative about her clothes, even though most of

them are hand-me-downs from her three older brothers. The only new

things she ever gets are underwear and shoes. That's why she loves

new shoes, especially her latest and most precious silver shoes. But

despite her mother's warnings, Go Go wears them on a family picnic and

loses one in the creek. Go Go is devastated, but continues to wear her

one remaining silver shoe, until one day a new girl at school realises

that she has one just like it...

A beautiful story about being confidently individual and about the power of friendship.
