About the book

Grandpa used to love going out wearing his best shoes.  He grew older and could no longer go out so his shoes stayed on the shoe rack.  Grandpa’s shoes loved to hear the stories of the adventures of the other shoes, reminding him of all the fun he used to have.  Then one day, Kevin, Grandpa’s grandson, had a weird experience… Find out what Grandpa’s shoes got up to with Kevin.

The story reflects a family living in a modern multi-cultural world where hopes, dreams and a bright future are all treasured.

Adesola Orimalade was born and raised in Nigeria, relocated to the United Kingdom some years ago and now calls himself a “citizen of the world”. As a child, he wanted to be an archaeologist, a pilot, a military officer and for some time even thought a career as a guitar-wielding rockstar was possible. Although his career plans evolved over time and he took time to earn a diploma and university degree, his aptitude first for drawing/painting and later crafting of fictional stories never went away. Adesola lives in Essex with his teenage daughter and seriously considering becoming a pet owner.
