City Feet

Product Information

Aixa Pérez-Prado is a storyteller, artist, and university professor who loves wandering through cities and countries all over the world with her boots on. This is such a fun and beautiful book that kids will absolutely enjoying reading over and over again. Segments focus on stories, reading and writing skills, math, science, social studies, the arts, and social-emotional learning. There is only one place in the whole book where we see the whole baby and that is hidden under the back cover so take a peek! The rhythm and rhyme of the words had perfect meter (and I'm usually quite picky when it comes to rhyming books ;).

I have been fairly successful at pitching on twitter, at least in terms of getting requests, but this is the first time a pitch has led to publication.Though there are no faces pictured, these feet each tell a story as they romp through the year on city streets. As if that weren't enough, Aixa Perez-Prado serves up both lush illustration and language making City Feet an absolute pleasure as a read aloud with the dual benefit of working wonderfully as a bedtime book. Because I had lots of ideas for the illustration of this story, my agent suggested that I make a dummy to send to the editor. Aixa Perez-Prado has gifted us with a rhythmic story of a child's-eye view of feet on a city street. Its rhymes are lively and lighthearted and I love how Perez-Prado colorfully bolded the action words and some of the descriptions too.

I had the privilege to hear the author read this book out loud and the way she did it, with such lovely rhythm and cadence, made the words sing off the page. The story walks the reader through various parts of a bustling city and all the different shoes and feet of its inhabitants. This deceptively simple, rollicking romp, from morning to night, through a city is focused entirely on feet has and has so much to offer. As a parent who always reads children’s books before reading to my daughter, I was excited to see such inclusion and love in this book.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.
