But something important is missing. They have no zapatos , no shoes, to send Cousin Leo! \"Which cousin is Leo?\" William asks. Tía Ana answers him with a thin paper tracing of Leo’s footprint. She nudges him out the door to find someone in the family with spare shoes in Leo’s size. But finding shoes for Leo is not as easy as it seems. With warmth and tenderness, Lauren Agra Deedy and Susan Gal have created a rich, colorful story of a tight-knit family — and the love that grows as they care for those living far away.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781338770216","publication_date":"20250304","publisher":"Scholastic Inc.","slug":"new-shoes-for-leo","subtitle":"Hardcover – Picture Book, March 4, 2025","title":"New Shoes for Leo"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"JUV011030","confidence_band":"medium","label":"US: Hispanic & Latino Stories","score":0.7879,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JUV030040","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Caribbean & Latin American Stories","score":0.7842,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JUV030100","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Stories Set in Mexico","score":0.7614,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"JUV011030","confidence_band":"medium","label":"US: Hispanic & Latino Stories","score":0.7879,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JUV030040","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Caribbean & Latin American Stories","score":0.7842,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JUV030100","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Stories Set in Mexico","score":0.7614,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"JUV030040","confidence_band":"high","label":"Caribbean & Latin American Stories","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"JUV039250","confidence_band":"high","label":"Immigration & Moving","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"JUV048000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Clothing & Dress-Up","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"US: Hispanic & Latino Stories","score":0.7879,"slug":"us-hispanic-latino-stories"},{"label":"Caribbean & Latin American Stories","score":0.7842,"slug":"caribbean-latin-american-stories"},{"label":"Stories Set in Mexico","score":0.7614,"slug":"stories-set-in-mexico"}],"reader_fit":["For readers interested in immigrant family stories and caring for relatives far away."],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Maribeth Boelts"],"book_id":"9780763642846","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780763642846.jpg?v=2788675e480020ba","score":0.7004,"title":"Those Shoes","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780763642846"},{"authors":["Junot Díaz"],"book_id":"9780525552819","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780525552819.jpg?v=e09eed46f99e63b1","score":0.6973,"title":"Lola","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780525552819"},{"authors":["Anna McQuinn"],"book_id":"9781580897259","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781580897259.jpg?v=0e7403ec709817e6","score":0.6969,"title":"Leo Can Swim","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781580897259"},{"authors":["Leo Lionni"],"book_id":"9780553538731","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780553538731.jpg?v=f1cf9a500398ab44","score":0.6894,"title":"Su Propio Color","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780553538731"},{"authors":["Maribeth Boelts"],"book_id":"9781536202953","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781536202953.jpg?v=f994092d65954833","score":0.6807,"title":"A Bike Like Sergio's","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781536202953"},{"authors":["Juana Medina"],"book_id":"9781536206395","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781536206395.jpg?v=68e26e63dd831f16","score":0.6791,"title":"Juana and Lucas","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781536206395"},{"authors":["Juan Moreno"],"book_id":"9781948066525","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781948066525.jpg?v=fcd9b74131dbdd2a","score":0.6785,"title":"El Pato Y Sus Zapatos (bilingual: English/spanish)","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781948066525"},{"authors":["María Dolores Águila"],"book_id":"9781250342614","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781250342614.jpg?v=bb56364e29410a09","score":0.6743,"title":"A Sea of Lemon Trees","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781250342614"}],"topics":[{"evidence_refs":["keyword:books about family"],"label":"About","score":0.1333,"slug":"about"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:picture books"],"label":"Picture","score":0.1279,"slug":"picture"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:books about family"],"label":"Family","score":0.0921,"slug":"family"}],"what_you_get":["Themes: Immigrant family, Care across distance, Tight-knit family.","Themes: Picture, Family.","Reading lane: Us: Hispanic & Latino Stories and Caribbean & Latin American Stories."]},"llm_signals":{"confidence":0.84,"pacing":"unknown","reader_fit":["For readers interested in immigrant family stories and caring for relatives far away."],"themes":["Immigrant family","Care across distance","Tight-knit family"],"tropes":[]},"source_presence":{"amazon":true,"book_detail":true,"goodreads":true,"llm_signals":true,"similarity_seed":true},"stats":{"amazon_ratings_count":0,"goodreads_ratings_count":122,"goodreads_reviews_count":21,"quality_score":0.8716}}
