about the author

Amanda de Byl is a high school teacher with over 20 years’ experience. This is her first children’s book to be published and she is excited to share her story with children around the world. As an English teacher, the importance of reading is always at the forefront of her role as a teacher and mother. Amanda is inspired by her children and husband who encouraged her to follow her own dreams and to live the motto, ‘Be brave and be kind’. When she is not teaching, she loves to dance, go camping and spending time with her family and friends.

about the book

How many pairs of shoes does your grandad have?My grandad had more shoes than there are days in the week. I’m not exactly sure why he needed so many pairs of shoes but he never went barefoot, always wore shoes and was ready for any adventure. Sometimes he would get his indoor shoes mixed up with his outdoor shoes or sometimes he would forget he had four pairs of sneakers, so he bought another pair. He liked to take all his shoes on outings, some happy and some sad. Although my grandad has passed away, I will always have the memories of his shoes and the great adventures he and I had together.
