Island Toes
From back:
Island Toes takes readers around the islands, where shoes are optional and toes have the freedom to explore. What kinds of experiences do toes have? What places do one's toes take them? On an island one can expect plenty of moving toes. From Snorkeling toes, to wheelchair toes, and even strap-in-between toes! Just how many toes can there be?

I had so much fun writing this book for our youngest "pre-readers", so of course I have to rate it 5 stars :) Hoping you and your little ones have as much fun reading it as I did writing it!

August 17, 2020I sublimely saw this as an identity book. Toes and feet come in all shapes, sizes, and smell but are all welcome. Being from Hawaii, being barefoot is not weird. So, discussing types of feet and are accepted.

A weird book about toes but really cute.

Toes! We can all look down and see our own, wherever we are in the world, but Island Toes is a celebration of Pacific Island Toes.
They are tan or pale or sunburnt toes.
They are clean or stinky or painted toes.
They are jandal, flipper or goodnight toes.
So many toes, doing so many things, but everywhere we go are our toes. Busy, resting, swimming, snorkling or wheelchair toes.
A toe tale told in English and Samoan in between images of lots and lots of colourful toes. A special book for children of all Pacific Island nations, and a perfect bilingual ESOL resource.
Originally published in Hawai'i, now Island Toes can be enjoyed in Aotearoa New Zealand.
There is a short glossary at the rear of the book, but just before that is a place to leave your own toe prints inside the book. Use mud or paint or trace them with a pen!
