Sandosenang Sapatos
Contents:
She worries that she has disappointed him. She laments and complains and sobs and works herself into a ball of angst that, ordinarily, would drive any audience to distraction.
Most audiences, after all, do not go to plays to watch people whining. If a person wants to wallow in woe and self-pity, he or she needs real life, not theater. Perhaps this is uncharitable. The first part of the play failed to move us, but many in the audience were reduced to tears.
The magic shoes Susie encounters in her dreams on her birthdays turn out to be not the creations of the shoe fairy, but gifts to her from her father. Reassured of his love, she shares a dream of dancing with him and, in this way, finds peace. It would take only a little thought to knock down this house of cards.
The father of Karina and Susie is a shoemaker. Why doesn’t their father make shoes for Susie? Receiving Unang Gantimpala, Maikling Kathang Pambata for the Don Carlos Palanca Memorial Awards for Literature, Sandosenang Sapatos is the heartwarming story of a father’s. Sandosenang Sapatos has ratings and 13 reviews. The father of Karina and Susie is a shoemaker. But only Karina gets to wear the shoes that he makes.
Why keep the precious gifts a secret? Why, of all the symbols he could have used to show his love, does he use shoes that he knew his daughter could never wear?

‘Sandosenang Sapatos’: Flawed–but beautiful | Inquirer Lifestyle
Nangilid ang luha ko sa kuwentong ito! Jul 05, Andrea Shettle rated it did not like it. Originally written in Filipino, about a little girl born without feet. I do not share her particular disability so I'm not the best expert I have other disabilities, just not this one. But this book pretty much struck me as pity porn, by an author who doesn't seem to have any awareness of prosthetic feet?

Which could have allowed the girl to walk and wear shoes! This is NOT a book I recommend for people seeking good disability representation in fiction, in which disabled characters have complex and nuanced personalities that are not just about their disability and have their own agency in the story. For older readers ages 8 to 18 , check out the Disability in KidLit blog http: Unfortunately, there is not yet a similar blog on books with good disability representation for younger children.

This was assigned for my son's homework in Filipino for a panitikan review. Curious as to why its a Palanca short story winner, I also read it in case my son had questions. Very heartwarming Filipino family setting with love overcoming problems and adversity, and of unfulfilled dreams. It also highlights a father's love to his disabled daughter.
Took me a longer time to read the tagalog version as required in school but had me teary-eyed in the end.
