From the creator of the iconic Penguin comes a truly humorous and empathetic look at everyday family life that also celebrates the importance and the dignity of a child's inner world.Every morning, all across the globe, children are being asked to put their shoes on. And, every morning, across the globe ... no children are putting shoes on their feet, including Josh. Mummy is desperate for Josh to put his shoes on – they have Aunty Nelly's party to go to! His cousins Tobias and Clementine will be there! (With their best shoes on.) While she asks nicely, cajoles, and eventually shouts (a bit), what she can't see is that Josh is actually VERY BUSY: he is completely lost in his own imaginative landscape inhabited by wild and wonderful creatures, made from real children's drawings by Polly Dunbar's son. In his own head, Josh is indeed putting shoes on ... just not on his own feet. Cleverly fusing together two unique art styles, Polly connects us to the inner life of a child and all the little worries and distractions they wrestle with as soon as they know they have to leave home. In the end, she asks for a little more patience and love ... for both parent and child.

In Polly Dunbar's hands, a familiar--and very funny--tale of leaving-the-house stress takes on a singular charm with her young child's drawings in the mix. Josh and Mom are heading out to Aunty Nelly's birthday party, and it's time for Josh to put on his shoes. But Josh is in his own little world, and the more Mom begs him to put his shoes on, the wilder his imagination becomes. Filled with humor and winsome illustrations, Polly Dunbar's one-of-a-kind story--brilliantly showcasing her young son's artwork as clues to what's going on in Josh's mind--speaks to the universal struggle around getting ready to leave the house, a scenario both children and caregivers can relate to.

A gentle book about dealing with emotions and calming toddler tantrums (and the grownup dealing with them ) together with an introduction to counting. The perfect picture book for handling bad days and bad moods.
