Karen Robbins, Author, Steps Out with Children’s Drawing Book Benefitting Soles4Souls
Karen
Robbins, a children’s author will release “Shoe Print Art” to raise
support for the International shoe charity Soles4Souls. With the
purchase of a “Shoe Print Art” book, you are partnering with Soles4Souls
to help put shoes on the feet of kids who cannot afford them. With 1 in
4 people in the world living in adverse poverty, the access to footwear
is extremely limited. Soles4Souls works hard to provide individuals in
need with proper shoes. The shoe charity has distributed more than 19
million pairs of shoes around the globe.
In support of “Shoe Print
Art” and Soles4Souls partnership, Simplicity Décor and Simplicity ABC
retail stores will be collecting shoes. Beginning on October 11th,
individuals may come to drop off the new and gently used shoes.
This
book illustrates ways that children can take the outline of their shoe
and transform it into a work of art! “When I learned children in parts
of the world aren’t allowed to attend school without a uniform or shoes,
it broke my heart. No child in our world should be banned from school. I
am so blessed, and hope to make a difference by giving a percentage of
the sales from my Shoe Print Art book to Soles4Souls. Working together,
we can make a difference,” said Robbins.
“By purchasing a copy of
‘Shoe Print Art’ you’re also helping millions around the world receive
their first pair of shoes,” said Paul Wilson, Chairman of the Board.
