‘My Shoes’ by Hathal Thakir and Hassan Taha is a about the power of imagination, and the joy of a new pair of shoes.
A boy named Youssif is depressed because he only has worn-out clothes and torn-up shoes to wear. He’s walking around in the park when he sees Khattab, a nicely dressed stranger. Magically, the boys take each other’s place: Youssif is now wearing brand new shoes and Khattab dirty clothes. Strangely enough, Khattab seems amazed and happy.
