Today Sophie Spikey has a very big problem. She has lost her shoes, again! There is no way she is asking her mum for help, though.I can fix it all by myself, she thought. Sophie did not have an easy start in life and now she cannot trust grown-ups to help her.Luckily, her new mum is good at guessing when Sophie needs a helping hand.Written by a mum who understands, and her daughter (who did not like asking for help), this is a story for children functioning at age 3-10.
