A must-have for the fans of the #1 bestselling author of Me Talk Pretty One Day, David Sedaris, a collection of his favorite short fiction from Flannery O'Connor to Tobias Wolff. David Sedaris is an exceptional reader. Alone in his apartment, he reads stories aloud to the point he has them memorized. Sometimes he fantasizes that he wrote them.

comfy and well-fitted
Size: 5 Big Kid, Color: Lavender/Multi
My daughter loves the color and the way it fits her feet. Her toes don't feel tight and squished. This is big for her since she has curved nails, and the pressure gives her sores if the shoes are too narrow at the toes. She likes that they are slip ons becasue in a rush, she doesn't like to tie her shoes; the easy use is perfect. She is a runner, not professionally, but she is ten, and she runs a lot at school. These are durable and last a long time compared to cheaper brands. I'm glad she doesn't care for brand names because this is a great shoe that won't break the bank.

If the shoe fits!
Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Lavender/Multi, Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Lavender/Multi
We recently purchased these girls’ sneakers, and they’ve exceeded all expectations! First off, the slip resistance is top-notch—perfect for everything from the playground to PE class. My daughter feels confident running, jumping, and playing without worrying about slipping, even on slick surfaces.
In terms of value for money, these shoes are a fantastic investment. They’re durable, high-quality, and priced right for growing kids who need reliable footwear. The materials feel premium, and after weeks of wear, they still look and perform like new.
The ease of use is a major bonus. The simple design makes them a breeze for kids to put on and take off by themselves.
I’m really impressed with the overall shoe quality. The stitching is solid, the soles are supportive yet flexible, and there’s great attention to detail. Plus, they’re lightweight, which is a must for kids who are always on the go. No dragging feet here!
And let’s not forget the style—these sneakers are absolutely adorable!
All in all, these sneakers hit every mark. They’re safe, stylish, and built to last—highly recommended!

Great durability & washablity.
Size: 4 Big Kid, Color: Lavender/Multi
These Skechers slip on shoes are perfect for kiddos! I've probably bought +20 pairs between my 3 daughters over the past 3-4 years. The shoes are comfortable, durable, last until the kids outgrow them, and best of all are easy to wash in my clothes washer. Definitely a great value. They come in so many different colors and styles that my kids easily find a pair that satisfy their personal tastes.
