Synopsis

You can't tell from out there.

Two stories in one book. Read In Otto's Shoes forward and it is Bob's walk home; turn it over - the back cover is In Bob's Shoes - and read it back to the front for Otto's.

Otto's new shoes hurt, and he keeps stopping to look down. Bob guesses - a stone? too small? - and cannot tell from out there. So halfway home they swap. Every page after the middle mirrors one before it with the shoes on the other boy's feet: whichever way you read, you watch your friend hurt first, and then you feel it yourself.

An empathy picture book for ages 4 to 8 that makes the oldest idea about walking in someone else's shoes literal enough for a four-year-old. One question to ask at the end - what could Bob not tell from out there?

Opens and closes on the same line: I like your shoes.

Book 5 of Bob & Otto, by Jesper K. Lassen. From VEN Method - social-emotional learning that builds connection and community in classrooms and at home.

About the Author

Jesper K. Lassen has been on a stage since he was seven years old. He is a mentalist - more than a thousand performances, and his own documentary series on Danish national television. He is the founder of VEN Method, a social-emotional learning company built on one idea: connection is something children can be taught, and most of us were left to pick it up by luck. VEN Method builds connection and community in classrooms and at home - a whole group around one shared thing, in place of individual screen time. He wrote the Bob and Otto books so the youngest readers could practice the same thing on paper, with a grown-up: hear one side, turn the book over, hear the other, and ask. Jesper K. Lassen is Danish. VEN Method is based in Texas.
