Grandma owns a pair of straw shoes woven by what she claims as the “straw-weaving fairies.” She can tell the most wondrous stories and weave straw into many brilliant things. However, one day the shoes are sold, and grandma falls ill; she no longer weaves nor remembers any stories. Believing this is due to the shoes, her granddaughter embarks on a journey to retrieve them, in hope that her grandmother will regain her spirits.
This story is filled with warmth, shining light on the importance of cultural heritage and cross generaTonal relaTonships – the two together are entwined together just like Grandma’s shoes.
