 | Right On! Mar 3, 2008 |
| I wept when I read it. So many lines about Jesse fit perfectly with my sons' situation, too. Thanks! | | | | It is a children's book, but many adults could benefit from reading it also. Dec 30, 2007 |
In Jesse's Shoes is a story told from the perspective of the older sister, Allie. Allie loves her brother Jesse very much, but struggles with having a brother that is just "wired differently," as her parents told her. She has the responsibility of walking her brother to his school bus each morning. Jesse did not always cooperate and easily got sidetracked. Allie saw other kids snickering and laughing at the way her brother Jesse acted.
Allie loved her brother but just wanted him to be more "normal" around her friends. One day after school she blurted out to her Dad that she just did not understand Jesse, and her Dad responded by saying, "Of course you don't understand him, you have not walked in his shoes."
The next day when Allie met Jesse after school, Jesse bent down took his shoes off and told Allie to walk in his shoes. That is exactly what Allie did, all the way home.
Having the chance to view things as Jesse did, Allie found the courage to stick up for her brother to her friends.
I highly recommend this book. It is a children's book, but many adults could benefit from reading it also. In fact after I received it in the mail, my 13-year-old plopped on the couch and read the book all the way through. I asked him what he thought of the book, and he said, "Mom, this is the best book I have read in awhile."
The illustrations are beautiful and the book will leave a lump in your throat. Sometimes we just don't understand until we walk in another person's shoes. | | | | A book for any age. Dec 21, 2007 |
| This book will touch your spirit at any age and remind you of the value of difference. If you are young it will tell you how to respect others that are not the same and teach you how they fit in your world. If you are old it will tell you how others need space when you are different because they fear where they are going. Read it at any age and you will grow. | | | | Dr. Laura Recommended Dec 2, 2007 |
| I heard about this book on Dr Laura, which she read in it's entirety on her show. I ordered it Monday and received it Thursday from this site. My niece is a first grade teacher and intends to read it to her class. It's short and to the point and one story I will read to my grandchildren (if I ever have any. (that's a hint to my son)) | | | | A Lesson in Compassion We All Need! Oct 8, 2007 |
This story is timeless. It is told in a way only Lewis can tell, and has such a powerful message for our children - and for us.
In a fast paced world where nobody has time for "different," these children learn that sometimes different is good, and can bless you beyond your dreams.
As a mother of 4 children all under 12, I plan on reading In Jesse's Shoes to my children again and again. And I plan on spending some time talking to them about kindness, compassion, and acceptance. About walking in someone elses shoes before you judge or mock them.
Sometimes the BEST surprises come in the most unlikely packages. Like finding a great book in a brown box at the post office, or discovering love and compassion in a brother with special needs.
