有時候，孩子崩潰的理由真的小得不能再小——只因為一雙鞋。
鞋子太緊、太鬆、不想穿，孩子開始尖叫、躺地、把鞋子丟出去，而原本耐心的媽媽，也在一次次失控中被逼到情緒邊緣。
Julie Fogliano以她擅長的詩意、節奏感文字，用一氣呵成的長句，把親子間情緒不斷升高的過程寫得又真實又好笑。從「鞋子」這件小事出發，卻慢慢帶出一個很重要的訊息：即使我們都有生氣、失控的時候，愛並不會因此消失。繪者是由三度獲得凱迪克榮譽獎的 Marla Frazee 擔綱。她以鉛筆與顏料創作，筆觸自由、充滿動態感，特別擅長捕捉孩子的肢體動作與情緒。故事前段明亮溫暖，隨著親子情緒升高，畫面逐漸轉為灰暗、凌亂的線條；等情緒慢慢平復，色彩也再次回到畫面中。
一本寫給孩子，也寫給每一個曾經被孩子逼到抓狂的父母的繪本。
因為再大的情緒過後，我們依然是彼此最愛的「我們」。
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 and timeless art from three-time Caldecott honor medalist Marla Frazee, here is a story that takes readers 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.
