Everybody likes Adil Ali but nobody likes his shoes! They are old and worn, patched and sewn. So his friends decide to gift him a pair of shiny brown shoes for Eid. And then begins the problem-his old shoes won't leave him! Rich in detail, Niloufer Wadia's vivid watercolour pictures make a bustling market come alive. Along with its sights and smells, they capture the drama and daily activities with humour, in a story that's gentle and full of warmth.
