Features: Fantasy literature has strong readability and distinctive characteristics. Its qualities allow it to approach children's instincts and nature to the fullest, bringing them a brand new, wondrous reading experience with irresistible artistic charm, becoming a dominant trend in world children's literature. The form of fantasy literature is not only a global trend in contemporary children's literature, but also deeply rooted in Chinese folk literature and traditional Eastern legends. Little Tim considers himself an unlucky child: he is the fattest in his class; the shortest in the entire school; his father is a cobbler, and their family is poor. However, when he turned seven, he received a special birthday gift: wearing new shoes and packing a backpack to follow his father into the mountains. This gradually gave him confidence. The novel centers on the wandering life of the father and son, linking together more than ten wonderful stories such as The Star Rabbit, Butterfly Bow on a Pig's Tail, Old Fish Waves, and Nose-Mouth Old Woman, offering spiritual enlightenment and artistic enjoyment. Fire Shoes and Wind Shoes is widely known in Germany and has been selected as a primary school textbook year after year.
