Ariba, an Old Tale about New Shoes

Book Publishing

Artwork Description

Marcus' joy over his new pair of shoes reminds him of an old story about a boy named Ariba. Ariba has the most unusual relationship with an extraordinary pair of shoes. No matter how many times he tries to get rid of his shoes, they always seem to find their way back to him. The story has a subtle intergenerational angle that comes from the tale which reminds us about tolerance, empathy, losing yourself and finding a place where the new and the old can co-exist.

From the moment Marcus put on his new shoes, he couldn’t stop moving.

There was not a single person to whom Marcus didn't present his new shoes

Under an endless sky, in a small village surrounded by high mountains, there once lived a boy named Ariba

This time he decided to take them far beyond the street, the park and even the train station

After all, I really like being with you on Sundays. We always have the most unusual times together
