But all the kids are wearing them! Any child who has ever craved something out of reach will relate to this warm, refreshingly realistic story. Features an audio read-along. "I have dreams about those shoes. Black high-tops. Two white stripes." All Jeremy wants is a pair of those shoes, the ones everyone at school seems to be wearing. But Jeremy’s grandma tells him they don’t have room for "want," just "need," and what Jeremy needs are new boots for winter. When Jeremy’s shoes fall apart at school, and the guidance counselor gives him a hand-me-down pair, the boy is more determined than ever to have those shoes, even a thrift-shop pair that are much too small. But sore feet aren’t much fun, and Jeremy comes to realize that the things he has -- warm boots, a loving grandma, and the chance to help a friend -- are worth more than the things he wants.

Book Description
How should you decode change and disruption to differentiate yourself from others? How can you enjoy and learn from the grilling, baking, frying and boiling as we create our recipe of life? How can you understand and appreciate relationships better? How will you cope with a life that's like a moving treadmill? Most of us are competent and equipped to succeed and live a good life. However, we still find ourselves wanting and struggling-there is always a sense of incompleteness, the niggling doubt that perhaps we didn't live up to our true potential. After all, however great a dish might be, a pinch of salt less, and it's no more perfect. With an industry experience of 25 years and more, Sanjay Jain shows how despite all the odds, life can still be beautiful. A Pinch of Salt talks of 18 such principles of life, which the author has gathered and learnt over his lifetime. He has effortlessly blended theory and practice to illustrate lucidly some simple but important facets of life that can make a tremendous impact. The aim is to add that one pinch of salt that can change the balance to make life more palatable. Easy to appreciate and implement, the book is a charming read with real-life experiences and anecdotes which will change your outlook and complete the rainbow of your life.

Book Description
What was Michael Jordan like as a boy? You might be surprised that the greatest professional basketball player ever wasn't even the best player in his own family! Michael Jordan was once just an ordinary little boy growing up in a North Carolina suburb, trying to keep up with his older brother Larry. Michael was always good at sports, but it seemed like Larry was always going to be bigger, quicker, and luckier. But Michael never gave up, and his practicing began to pay off. Then one summer day during a backyard game of one-on-one, Larry Jordan's "little" brother took him--and the whole family--by surprise! Based on actual events, this story of a friendly sibling rivalry is enhanced by Floyd Cooper's stunning two-tone art. Jump! even features a gate-fold depicting Michael Jordan's trademark leap that will send young readers soaring.
