New Shoes For Leo

A Cuban American boy, William, helps his Mami and Tía Ana gather much-needed items for relatives living in Cuba. Mami gives William an important job: to find extra shoes for his cousin Leo. Armed with the outline of Leo’s footprint on a piece of paper, William starts his mission and learns more about Leo with each stop as he visits local family members to see if they have extra shoes available. Susan Gal collaborated with Scholastic and debut author, Lauren Agra Deedy on this story about a tight-knit family.
