Disclosure: I received complimentary products as a thank you for this post. All opinions are my own.
I recently got the book Shoe Garden & Other Shoe Stories, which was a cute little book. My older daughter, who seems to be very fashion-minded, really enjoyed it. The illustrations are cute, and my younger daughter loves butterflies, so the story Butterfly Shoes was her favorite. I had a chance to interview sisters Brenda Foinne and Joyce Fishman, author and illustrator. The book is the first in a planned series called The Shoe Banter Collection.
What inspired you to write this book?
Originally, it was a present for our younger sister Ivy’s 50th birthday, as she loves shoes. Joyce came up with the idea, asked Brenda to write 50 stories and then she illustrated the stories.
What led you to choose the theme of ‘shoes’ for your collection?
We chose shoes, as every shoe has a personality and it can help a person express their attitude in life. This includes their confidence, zaniness, athleticism, insecurities, creativity, happiness and even their age.
What do you hope readers will walk away with?
We hope that it sparks their imagination and that they feel pure enjoyment from what we created. Additionally, we hope they can use the stories as a lens for how they look at themselves and their lives.
Where can we find the book?
The first book in The Shoe Banter collection, Shoe Garden and other Shoe Stories, is available on Amazon both in eBook and paperback format. Additional books in the collection will be released in the future.
