All Hector wants for his birthday is a pair of sneakers with a soccer ball on them. When he gets a pair with a star on them, he is disappointed, until he sees his role model with a pair just like them.
Little Brown Bear tries on the various shoes which he finds in the closet, including a pair of house slippers, Mama's high heels, and Papa's big boots.
Photographs and simple text describe all kinds of shoes--some for dancing, walking, playing, some for snow or ice, some made of wood or cloth--from nineteen different countries.
