Join a young boy affectionately known as Mr. Brown as he searches for his shoes across the family farm in this first picture book from social media icon and author of The Rooted Life, Justin Rhodes.
Gideon, the second youngest child of homesteaders Justin and Rebekah Rhodes, is infamously known as the shoe-losing "Mr. Brown." It drives his papa nuts, especially when it’s time to head out to do chores on the farm. Where Are Your Shoes, Mr. Brown? is an engaging story that follows Mr. Brown as he searches for his missing shoes, bringing a humorous message about responsibility along with an underlying theme of a parent's love.

Justin and Rebekah are parents to five children and involve the them in much of the work on the farm to teach values of hard work, problem solving, and life skills like growing their own food.
My thoughts:
What a sweet, fun book! I said "awwww" at the end, and you will too!
The illustrations are so enjoyable. Little ones will enjoy the scenes and animals as you read this book together. Also if you look closely you can find some shoes hiding in the illustrations. I appreciate how the author gives the backstory for the name of the little boy (Mr. Brown) because that confused me at first when I started reading. This book is appropriate for early elementary aged children.
I received a copy of this book from Hachette group for my honest review. Thank you.
Have a day of blessings!
