The Little Things

Lisa Rita Author Interview

Oh No, There’s Poo on My Shoe follows a young boy who is upset about having poo on his shoe and his mom, who reminds him in a fun and gentle way that things could be worse. What was the inspiration for your story?

Just to gently remind kids not to get all worked up over the little things, and try to see the bright side of life, as you can always wipe poo off your shoe!

What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?

There could be worse things than having poo on your shoe!

What scene in the book did you have the most fun writing?

I enjoyed the scene when the son didn’t trip over his shoelaces, or lose at the sports races, but most importantly, the wind didn’t change when he pulled funny faces!

Is this the first book in the series? If so, when is the next book coming out, and what can your fans expect in the next story?

No, it’s not in a series.

A son keeps complaining to his mum that he has ‘poo on his shoe.’

All the while his mum keeps reminding him, in a rhyme, that there are other unpleasant things that could happen too and that it’s not that bad because you can always wipe poo off your shoe!
