The first pages

On a snowy December evening in Holland, Michigan, Femke set her shoe beside the fireplace. Tomorrow was December fifth, Sinterklaas Eve.

In the Netherlands, where Femke's oma grew up, children leave out a shoe in early December. They hope Sinterklaas will fill it with a small treat.

What happens next? The rest of the story, every painted page and Buzzby's narration open with a free account.
