After she grows out of her lovely red slippers, she realizes the magic of her shoes comes not from simply possessing them but from wearing them. Struggling with a desire to keep her shoes, Mia ultimately makes the decision to share them with a friend, who will be able to wear and love them, only to then discover that the magic of her ruby-red slippers lives on through her act of giving. The RubyRed Slippers is written and illustrated by Dee Dee Fox, a mother of four who lives on a farm in rural South Dakota with her charming husband, their youngest child who has yet to leave for college, a loveable dog named "Ace," and too many chickens to count.Publisher's website: http: //www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/TheRubyRedSlippers.html
