Schumann the Shoeman
A delightful modern fable from the award-winning author and illustrator team of John and Stella Danalis.
When the laces are tied, your shoes will be ready.
Schumann the Shoeman was adored by the townsfolk and his shoes were the talk of the town. Each pair a sight to behold, made with care and consideration. And when the shoes were ready for collection, he tied the laces on his shoe-shop sign for all the town to see!
But when a big shoe business moves into his town, Shoeman's work disappears like the steam rising up into the sky from the new factory. The town has forgotten him. His spirits low, his creativity stifled, Schumann moves to the forest where the animals soon seek out his work and his heart.
Lyrical, meaningful and stunningly beautiful, this picture book challenges readers to think about where things come from and the world of big business. Inspired by the author's struggle to find replacement parts for his electronic goods, Schumann the Shoeman feels like a journey into another world, a fable for times and practices gone past.
A picture book with a difference.
