Reach for this book when your child is in the midst of a total obsession, whether it is a pair of light-up sneakers, a specific superhero cape, or a favorite snack. It perfectly validates the intense, logic-defying joy that young children find in new possessions. This story follows an enthusiastic little chicken who believes a pair of orange socks has fundamentally upgraded his entire life. Through the chicken's eyes, new socks do not just cover feet; they make you faster, cooler, and ready to take on the world. It is a brilliant tool for parents to mirror their child's excitement and build self-confidence through the simple lens of everyday pride. Ideally suited for toddlers and preschoolers, this book uses humor and a retro art style to celebrate the 'big kid' milestones of getting dressed and finding one's own sense of style.
