My Purple Toes is a creative children's board book written for children between the ages of one and five that tells a story about a father's experience navigating life with purple painted toenails. From Mom to the kids to their dog, everyone reacts differently to Dad's purple toes showing their surprise, embarrassment, and even laughter. Throughout the book, children can look for Dad's toes in various environments and also find a friendly frog with purple toes that hides on each page. In addition to being entertaining, My Purple Toes teaches a simple, yet relevant lesson about the importance of acceptance, enjoying life, and being different. My Purple Toes features cheerful, imaginative illustrations by artist Tate Nation. A portion of the book sales will benefit children in the United States and around the world through the nonprofit, Soles4Souls, which collects and distributes shoes at no cost to people in need regardless of race, religion, class or any other criteria.
