NAMED ONE OF THE BEST CHILDREN’S BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK TIMES

The story of a girl who rides an ostrich straight to her dreams from the award-winning writer and librarian Betsy Bird, illustrated by Caldecott Medalist David Small.
 
"[A] charming, wacky novel." —The New York Times

Twelve-year-old Suzy Bowles is tired of summers filled with chores on her family farm in Burr Oak, Michigan, and desperate to see the world. When her wayward uncle moves back home to the farm, only to skip his chores every morning for mysterious reasons, Suzy decides to find out what he's up to once and for all. And that's when she meets legendary former circus queen Madame Marantette and her ostriches. Before long, Suzy finds herself caught-up in the fast-paced, hilarious world of ostrich riding, a rollicking adventure that just might be her ticket out of Burr Oak.

“Beautifully told by one of our best librarians.” —Jon Scieszka, First National Ambassador of Young People’s Literature

Snug fit with ease of putting on
Size: 7 Toddler, Color: Navy, Size: 7 Toddler, Color: Navy
These Amazon Essentials hook-and-loop athletic sneakers have been a fantastic everyday shoe for toddlers and little kids. The fit and comfort really stand out. The padded collar and cushioned insole make them comfortable enough for all-day wear, whether that’s running around at school, playing at the park, or just being on the move at home. One of the biggest wins is how easy they are for kids to put on themselves. The hook-and-loop closure combined with the faux elastic laces strikes a great balance between a secure fit and independence, which is a huge plus for busy mornings. They stay snug without being tight and don’t slip off during active play. The materials feel well made for a kid’s sneaker. The faux leather and mesh upper looks sporty and holds up well to daily wear, while the mesh lining helps with breathability. The TPR sole provides good traction and stability, giving a solid, supportive feel without being stiff or heavy. Style-wise, these shoes are versatile and cute. The athletic look with subtle vintage-inspired details works with everything from play clothes to more put-together casual outfits. Overall, these sneakers deliver comfort, durability, and kid-friendly design at a great value. A reliable, no-fuss choice for active little feet.

Slim toes and runs small.
Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Metallic Gold
These sneakers ran small and are very slim down the foot. Definintely not wide friendly or even toe box friendly for those who want more friendly 'barefoot' shoes. The colors are cute. Easy to put on and off, especially for toddlers with the lack of laces. Just not a great sneaker for those who want something that will last longer and not pinch toes or create ingrowns.
