About the Author:
From School Library Journal:
Erica Dornbusch is a partner at an ad agency where she art-directs and illustrates. Finding Kate's Shoes is her first book for children. Erica's illustrations have appeared on all sorts of things, including bags, wine and oil bottles, billboards, greeting cards, posters, brochures, watering cans, and T-shirts, as well as in books and magazines.
reS-Gr 1-A wordless seek-and-find story. While morning-rushed Mom unsuccessfully searches shower and clothes basket for her daughter's red sneakers, pigtailed Kate's concurrent imaginary scenes on the following page show the missing items. Whether in tropical waterfalls or on polar ice floes, the shoes are easily seen. Mother and daughter ultimately find them in a box they'd looked in at book's beginning. At the end, readers will see a gleeful frog, blue feather, and leaf in it, perhaps explaining the magic. Dornbusch uses pencil-crayon art to craft pattern-rich spreads of both home and worlds afar. However, the abstract premise and murky resolution may expect too much of the intended audience.
