The Birthday Shoes

Paperback.
By Mary Weeks Millard

For 7 to 11s

Emily Jane is from a church family but finds Jesus for herself through a series of exciting adventures.

This book is for girls who love adventures, shoes and friends!

Emily Jane wants high-heeled boots for her birthday but is given crocodile skin shoes instead… she hates them until they take her on magical adventures to Africa! Emily Jane does all sorts of exciting things with her new friends, and also finds out how important it is to trust God.

While in The Gambia, standing next to a crocodile pool, Emily Jane realises that although her parents are Christians, and she goes to church, she needs to ask Jesus into her own life.

Emily Jane also finds she is changing inside…

Buy this book for girls who need to know that they are precious and important to God. Don’t delay – they grow up too fast, and the moment will be gone.

Brilliant for schools, churches, libraries and families. Perfect for uniformed organisations, or to give away to families.

“My favourite part was when Emily Jane put on her shoes for the first time and ended up in Africa. It made me feel like I was there!” – Susanna
