Birdie’s Big Girl Shoes is a darling story book with GORGEOUS illustrated by the talented Sujean Rim. It is right up there on my list of most delightful {and pretty} children’s books. And just the right thing for a little girl with a shoe obsession.
Such a cute illustration. I sort of want to frame it and put it in Audrey’s room.

:: fabric {for the shoe and for the flower}
:: image {or a book with an image you want to copy}
