The Sandal Artist

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Lois Rosio Sprague. Wearing another man's shoes, in this case mysterious sandals loaned by a cobbler, proves to be a creative turning point for Roberto, a struggling artist with visions of greatness. By truly seeing his ordinary surroundings he eventually realizes his dreams. Although self-conscious, the formal text delivers its message effectively; the painterly illustrations are saturated with deep colors outlined in black.
