Kids slippers with values parents love too

Oh how I love the adorable children's slippers from Satch and Sol. But more importantly, my daughters love them.

They don't know that these soft slippers are handmade from felted wool and suede soles by a fair trade artisan cooperative. They don't know that the company is super eco-friendly from the natural berry and wood dyes right down to the recycled packaging. They certainly don't know that owner and mom Susan Bell goes so far as to pay for carbon offsets to cover overseas shipping and energy use.

What my daughters do know is that every night, the earth will stop spinning on its axis should they not wear their "flower slippers."

I think the Satch & Sol slippers are terrific for toddlers and older kids who aren't so fast to kick them off feet. Adults too. Good thing they make them in my size; according to my kids, I don't know what I'm missing. - Liz

Q&A with children’s book author Shannon Hale

Shannon Hale is the bestselling author behind The Princess in Black series. It's a favorite early chapter book series for kids ages 5–8 and boys love it as much as girls do. Her newest book, Princess in Black and the Trick or Treating Trouble, comes out just in time for Halloween. We talked with her about it as part of our Q&A author series and asked about a few of her favorite things too.
