About
Nevin and his grandpa are heading to the park on a spring day, and Grandpa checks with Nevin about what shoes to wear.
Should he wear boots? NO! Sandals? NO! Slippers? NO! Running shoes? YES! YES! YES! Throughout the book, Grandpa lets Nevin choose which direction to walk in, what to play on at the park and, finally, what flowers to bring home for Nana. Nevin has fun getting to choose for himself, and he shows Grandpa that he might be little, but he knows a lot.

★"Scenes unfold with cinematic flair...Bonheur's tenacity and determination will resonate with children, whether or not they're familiar with her art."-Quill & Quire, starred review for No Horses in the House!
"Readers will revel in the lifelike animal paintings…The artwork here sprawls beautifully across spreads, showing…a tiny but confident Rosa surrounded by naysayers as well as her beloved animals, potential creations swirling around the scenes as they pour from her mind." -Booklist for No Horses in the House!
