Shongololo’s shoes

Summary


Shongololo's Shoes is a delightful children's short story following a centipede on a frantic search through the jungle for his missing shoes. With so many feet to keep covered, losing them is no small problem! One by one, Shongololo asks Snail, Giraffe, Frog, Flamingo, the Monkeys, Owl, and Lion — each sending him somewhere new. The mystery builds with playful momentum until a surprising twist reveals not just where the shoes ended up, but why they were taken in the first place.
