Synopsis

Don’t you just love boots?
This exuberant celebration of polka-dot rain boots lets readers “dress” a cheerful romp of children so that everyone gets to wear their favorite footwear with every outfit, in every activity.
 
Get your polka-dot boots on!

Excerpt

Big shirts, small shirts
Short shirts, long shirts
Look spiffy with polka-dot boots!
 
Plain coats, zany coats
Sun coats, rainy coats
And splish-splashing polka-dot boots!

About Ellen Olson-Brown

Ellen Olson-Brown - Ooh La La Polka-Dot Boots

Photo © Caleb Brown

Ellen Olson-Brown has always loved children, words, ideas, words, and silliness.  She has been a kindergarten and preschool teacher, a mother, and now she works with researchers who are using giant brain cameras called fMRI scanners to learn more about how kids brains work when they do puzzles or listen to stories.  Someday she’d like to see pictures of kids’ brains reading her books and find out which parts are working hardest during the silly parts!

Everyday is different and she works on lots of projects with clients from all over the world…all from her home studio in London.

Review, Booklist:
"From the astronaut with a silver hat to the princess with a gold tiara, the characters in this small, interactive picture book celebrate clothes and costumes. Young children, especially those who become passionately attached to favorite outfits, will enjoy the bright, active, acrylic paintings that show a cast of diverse kids in snazzy ensembles of all kinds."
