An immensely enjoyable, fun Christian book for 7-11 year-old children. Perfect as a family bedtime story, or for confident readers to enjoy alone.
All Emily Jane wants for her birthday is a pair of fashionable boots, but instead she is given old-fashioned, fake crocodile-skin shoes. Alone in her bedroom, Emily Jane tries on the hated shoes. She hopes they might not fit so she won't ever have to wear them, but discovers that they hold an amazing secret!
Join Emily Jane as she goes on a series of exciting adventures, making new friends and discoveries about God (and crocodiles!) along the way. As she travels with her magic shoes, Emily Jane begins to realise that although her mum and dad are Christians, she needs to decide whether to follow Jesus or not, for herself.
This captivating story will soon become your children's favourite book, as they join Emily Jane on her amazing adventures.
My favourite part was when Emily Jane put on her shoes for the first time and ended up in Africa. It made me feel like I was there! - Susanna
I would quite happily read this book over and over again! - Caitlin
I really liked the parts when Emily Jane puts on her shoes and goes to different places in Africa. I liked these parts because it felt really magical! - Bethany
I have been reading The Birthday Shoes to my foster girls. They absolutely LOVE it and they can't wait each time we will read a chapter. - Michelle (Mum)
I greatly enjoyed this. It showed a first-hand knowledge of Africa. It was easy to identify with Emily Jane and her growing understanding of the difficult circumstances faced by African children. The twists and turns in the story kept it moving forward at a lively pace. - Roy (Grandad)
