You, too, can have red shoes of courage. All you need to do is believe. The kitchen table at Nana Emily’s house is the place where Lily feels most at home. Every day after school, she and Nana Emily bake, laugh, and talk about all kinds of things. When Lily tells her grandmother that she did something she’s not proud of, Nana Emily encourages her to share.

Will Lily be brave enough to apologize to Aleeza and also stand up to the other girls at school? Through her courage and kindness, might she even make a new friend?In this powerful and beautifully told story about strength, courage, kindness, sticking up for others, and doing the right thing, Lily’s Red Shoes of Courage will encourage children of all ages to put on their own red shoes of courage and stand up for themselves even when it is not easy.
