About the Book
One shoe. One boy. One unforgettable journey.
When little Lelo loses his favorite shoe, it sets off a whirlwind of imagination, mishaps, and heartwarming moments that will leave young readers giggling and grownups nostalgic.
Told in both English and IsiZulu, this beautifully illustrated story celebrates the magic of every day childhood adventures through a proudly South African lens. It's not just a picture book, it's a vibrant cultural keepsake, a language bridge, and a joyful reminder that the things we lose often lead us right back to what matters the most.
Whether you are raising a leader, teaching a class, or building a legacy bookshelf - Lelo's Lost Shoe is the bilingual treasure your heart (and shelf) has been waiting for.
Perfect for children ages 5 - 7.
