Book/narrative poem
Parkway Publishers, 2006

A young boy writes, “I love you,” on the end of his tennis shoe at school; he then sticks his shoe out in the aisle to share his secret note with his girlfriend. His secret is revealed and (almost) everything goes wrong.

“This book is for anyone who has loved, and anyone who hopes to sometime love again... If you don’t end by hugging the book, look around for someone nice to hug instead.”

“...Shannon crafts on of the finest love stories I’ve ever read in a 28-page, beautifully illustrated book.”
~ Schuyler Kaufman in Carolina Mountain Living, Winter 2006/07
