It is a powerfully layered novel that poses the questions: Who owns the truth? Who speaks it? Who believes it? "A patchwork story is the shame of the refugee," Nayeri writes early in the novel. In an Oklahoman middle school, Khosrou (whom everyone calls Daniel) stands in front of a skeptical audience of classmates, telling the tales of his family's history, stretching back years, decades, and centuries. At the core is Daniel's story of how they became refugees--starting with his mother's vocal embrace of Christianity in a country that made such a thing a capital offense, and continuing through their midnight flight from the secret police, bribing their way onto a plane-to-anywhere. Anywhere becomes the sad, cement refugee camps of Italy, and then finally asylum in the U.S. Implementing a distinct literary style and challenging western narrative structures, Nayeri deftly weaves through stories of the long and beautiful history of his family in Iran, adding a richness of ancient tales and Persian folklore. Like Scheherazade of One Thousand and One Nights in a hostile classroom, Daniel spins a tale to save his own life: to stake his claim to the truth. EVERYTHING SAD IS UNTRUE (a true story) is a tale of heartbreak and resilience and urges readers to speak their truth and be heard.

Trust me - the few extra dollars is worth a shoe that actually stays on!
Size: 6 Little Kid, Color: Red/Blue/Lime
In an attempt to not spend lots on money on shoes for my toddler since they grow so fast, I ended up spending more money buying different "affordable" shoes and not a single one stayed on my little one's feet! The cost of these shoes is not outrageous but a little more than I wanted to spend on shoes that will be grown out of in a few months. Totally worth the few extra dollars though! Don't waste money and time trying to "save" money on shoes that don't work.
Also, quality of the shoe is great. Got the red pair and they are adorable! My little one likes to run and these are holding up great! They stay securely on his fit and have plenty of room in the toe area.

One month later - Pros & Cons
Size: 10 Little Kid, Color: Cobalt Blue, Size: 10 Little Kid, Color: Cobalt Blue
I purchased these shoes for my three year old son who is really hard on his shoes. I wanted shoes that were a good price value and that my son could put on and take off by himself, run around in, and that would stand up to 3 year old kid abuse. These shoes fit the bill, and for the price I would recommend them and I would buy them again, but they'd be even better if they were even more reinforced around the toes.
**This is NOT a paid or subsidized review. If you find this review helpful, please click "yes" - thank you!
PROS:
* Price - these are a well made, good looking shoe for a very fair price.
* Easy for my son to put on and take off, but do not fall off. Velcro is holding up well so far.
* The velcro tab that holds them on is big, so there's plenty of room for error in putting them on, and there's plenty of velcro to ensure a good hold.
* Nice looking - my son likes them which is a big deal when you're three.
* Stand up well to rough and tumble play
* Lightweight
* Good grip on the soles of the shoes.
* Fit is as expected, no discomfort, he wears them all day long without complaint.
CONS:
* As with all kids shoes, the toe area could be even more reinforced although he's worn them every day for a month and, as you can see in the pictures, they're not showing much wear.
* VERY lightweight - so if you're looking for a heavier, more protective shoe for any reason, this is not the pair for you.
Overall I'd highly recommend these shoes, and would purchase them again.

Easy 2-Velcro closure
Bought the first pair at Kohls, was a favorite easy velcro closure for our 2.5 yr old Grandaughter. Wanted pink and Amazon had these. Perfect fit one half size up. They run a little narrow and smaller but are lightweight and easy for a toddler to put their own shoes on! Her favorite.

run small.
Size: 7.5 Little Kid, Color: Peri
I was a fool and didn't size up, our daughter was only able to sue them for a minute. Should have sized up 2 sizes, I know better. A bit chunky too which I forgot about with these shoes, but fun color and easy to put on.
