Where is your light? asks the old shoes.
What is my light?
It's what is most beautiful in you, Jones - it's what makes you special.
And so, Jones' journey of self-discovery begins.
10-year-old Billy Jones feels lost, misunderstood by his family and friends, who all want him to be someone he's not. When Jones finds a secret closet in his room, and in it, a pair of old shoes, he is amazed to find that the shoes can speak. Jones listens to the old shoes when they promise to answer all of his questions, as they guide him on a journey of self-discovery. But, what will Jones do when the old shoes ask him to answer questions for himself?
This charming story speaks to the universal need to understand who you are and to make the sometimes-difficult choices that build self-confidence, enduring character, and a life you'll be proud of.
Jones of the Old Shoes is a meaningful gift for birthdays and other transitional life events, and an excellent read for fans of The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse.
