"My favorite shoes on Sunday are Monique's church shoes. Black and glossy with a bright, shiny buckle. They show off her polka dot socks. Monique must be special." "But what about me?" a child wonders when they feel different from their peers. For kids in Foster Care, feeling different, lesser, and un-special can be a daily struggle. My Favorite Shoes is the story of a young girl in foster care struggling with her own self worth, until she finds herself in a home that makes her feel valued and loved, just like everyone of her peers. Introduce your young reader to different life experiences and family situations, expand their horizons and support children in need all with one good book. Our world is made up of people of all kinds- races, religions, and backgrounds. Introducing children to those differences from an early age is an important part of raising informed, compassionate citizens who can work together to make the world better. Shoes are a big part of our everyday lives, and something we often take for granted. While many people donate toys and blankets to those in need, things like shoes can often go overlooked, leaving kids with donations of secondhand, scuffed up shoes that are too small and too worn to do them any good. Author Coral Hayward saw this first hand through her work with Foster Care, including her adopted siblings. That's why she wrote My Favorite Shoes, to shine a light on a life experience not often put front and center, and to help kids get shoes. 10% of sales proceeds of My Favorite Shoes are donated to get new shoes to kids in foster care, because every kid deserves to feel special and loved.

I began writing years ago when faced with perplexing choices in life. Some of the information shared here has also been told through a documentary that was done by my ex-husband. At the time, I was included in his story for the benefit of their message on gender issues. However, my focus is more on what makes me, me . . . Its more related to why I felt the need to support some events in life and why I retreated from others. Acceptance is key here. I cannot change events that happened anymore than I could change the way my husband felt about himself. I cannot change the illness and death of my father anymore than I could change the fire that destroyed our business. I cannot change the memory of being chased out of a house by gunpoint. I have to accept that my life is being guided by lessons previously learned and experienced. It is being watched over by God, and it is completely in his hands. My acceptance is the joy that I find in nature and family. Its reflected in my work for those with special needs, both on and off a horse. It is in the delight I have when walking through the woods or catching turtles on a beach. My days are not perfect, but I accept that too, because life is always changing and you cant hang on to the past. Hopefully, I can let it go and look forward to the ever-changing events of life. Welcome to my world!
