Matou passes a mosque on her way home from school and can't resist trying on some of the shoes she finds outside. Curious about the shoes' wearers, she begins to imagine the lives they might lead. One day, when her mum has to work late, she feels frustrated and let down. Can stepping into her mum's shoes help Matou build a bridge of understanding between them?
A story with a strong SEL (Social Emotional Learning) focus, highlighting the importance of empathy in building understanding between people.
A delightful story about empathy in which a little girl takes the expression "to step into someone's shoes" literally.
