About the Author
Susanna Isern grew up among mountains in the Spanish Pyrenees. When she was little, her favorite hobby was to run around, discovering incredible insects and helping sick or endangered animals. It was then that animals started to whisper her stories, which she hurried to write in the notebook she always carried with her. She is the author of many children's books, most of them distributed internationally and translated into over a dozen languages. She has been awarded the Silver Medal in the Moonbeam Children's Book Awards 2013 in the USA.
Born in 1983 in the Cantal, France, Mylène studied applied arts (graphic design, advertising publishing) and then comics in Angoulême, where she lived 15 years before moving to the south west of France in the heart of the nature. She works specially for the press and youth publishing but she has illustrated many books translated in many languajes. She likes to draw nature, plants, animals and her draws are filled with small details.
Reviews
"Put Yourself in My Shoes" is a charmingly entertaining picture book for children ages 4-8 years on the importance and value of empathy for others. Extraordinary and original, it is very highly recommended, especially for family, elementary school, and community library picture book collections for young readers.----Midwest Book Review
Shows children how we need others and others need us. I can see this being a valuable resource for classrooms, special education classes and families wanting to impart the importance of empathy into their children.Oregon Coast Youth Book Review
At first, I was not wild about the illustrations in this book, but they grew on me as the book continued. I loved the sweet messages this book had. It shows how we can sometimes be selfish and only see the world from our points of view. It didn't feel preachy, which I always appreciate. A delightful book that teaches good lessons in an easy-to-understand way.--NetGalley Reviewer
This is a cute book about cricket, who doesn't help his friends with things because he doesn't think what they need help with is important. There's a great lesson from this story about helping out your friends when they need help, even if you think what they need help with is unimportant.---NetGalley-Librarian
A tale of what it means to be a friend. Compassion and empathy is learned in this tale. What a friend looks like and what happens when we forget to put ourselves in other shoes. Many lessons to be learned with this one.---NetGalley-Reviewer / Sudnay Gatherings Blog
It would be easy to slide into a predictable, pedantic conclusion, but Isern instead chooses an earnest, heartwarming turn. Rigaudie's close-up look at this pastel insect world makes lesson-learning all the more inviting. Tiny details delight: not just the insects' many shoes, but puffs of steam emanating from cups of tea and Ladybug's tiny clothespins ----Kirkus
