A Lesson in Self-Acceptance
Every child struggles with feeling different, but Willie Wiggles takes it to another level in Slippery Willie’s Stupid, Ugly Shoes by Larry Peterson. Born with slippery feet, Willie hates everything about them — especially his new shoes, which he swears are the “ugliest things in the whole world.”
What unfolds is a charming and meaningful story about self-acceptance, courage, and learning that our flaws aren’t curses — they’re what make us unique.
