The Simplest Knot

Yasmina gets a new pair of shoes with laces. She loves them but has no idea how to tie the laces. She asks mom to tie them whenever she wears the shoes and every time the laces get loose and trip her. Sometimes she would have to wait for her mother for a while before she could tie her laces for her. Yasmina decides to learn how to tie them herself and asks mom to teach her and practices until she nails it. The Simplest Knot visually illustrates how to tie shoelaces and teaches pre-schoolers to depend on themselves and learn to overcome difficulties without relying heavily on their parents.
