The Old Woman (Who Still Lives In The Shoe)

Beschreibung

Never forget the old woman who lives in the shoe. That said, you might think you don't really know anyone who lives in a shoe, especially an old woman; but you really do! You see this shoe is just a pretend shoe, a metaphor for what really is; and the old woman may be anyone you know, an old lonely woman who lives in the house down the street, or even your very own grandmother! Anyone who is alone and lonely can be the old woman in the shoe, and someday when you are very, very old (although I know this is difficult for you to even imagine) that old woman or old man might even be you! And it is really no fun to live alone in a shoe, even a metaphoric one! What can you do? Why you can reach out to that metaphoric old woman in the shoe, and you won't have to look long or too far to find her.

This 'learn to read' book by award winning author, attorney and former teacher, Penelope Dyan, is meant to make you think. And you should always think about others before you think about yourself, because that is what makes us human. There is a free music video you can watch on YouTube on the Bellissimavideo channel that goes right along with this book; and hopefully, that video will not only be fun, it will also help you to think about other people and how they feel.
