Luigi and the Barefoot Races

They say Luigi always ran barefoot. And they speak of his greatest challenge--the race nobody thought he could win, not even Luigi himself. Maybe it's urban legend, or maybe the true events have acquired added luster in Dan Paley's memory. After all, a story this amazing couldn't possibly be true, could it? Suffused with nostalgia for soft summer evenings in a city neighbourhood, with kids playing in the street, neighbours visiting, twilight seeming like it would never end. A tall tale that kids will never tire of. Aaron Boyd's colourful illustrations vividly recreate an urban Philadelphia street and its houses, shops, and memorable people.
