In her first book, My Shoes Fit Just Fine, author Brenda James Griffin addresses a subject behind the headlines and concerns of parents and educators across the nation - bullying. This modern parable focuses on bullying incited by brand clothing as narrated by an eight-year-old African American boy entering a new school in a new neighborhood.

Raymond's parents have recently divorced and his mother has a new job. Excited and apprehensive, Raymond meets a friend and encounters a bully the first day of school. With ingenuity and determination he overcomes taunts about his clothing and uncertainties of an unfamiliar elementary campus.

My Shoes Fit Just Fine provides a conversation opener between adults and children on an important topic. Copies of the book priced at $12.99 are available online at www.xlibris.com and through local book signings. Sheltering Arms Child Development and Family Support receives a portion of all sales to start a childcare scholarship program for grandparents who are raising their grandchildren and need childcare in order to work or return to school.
