Winner of the 2015 American Library in Paris Book Award
The Marquis de Lafayette at age nineteen volunteered to fight under George Washington and became the French hero of the American Revolution. In this major biography Laura Auricchio looks past the storybook hero and selfless champion of righteous causes who cast aside family and fortune to advance the transcendent aims of liberty and fully reveals a man driven by dreams of glory only to be felled by tragic, human weaknesses. Drawing on substantial new research conducted in libraries, archives, museums, and private homes in France and the United States, Auricchio, gives us history on a grand scale revealing the man and his complex life, while challenging and exploring the complicated myths that have surrounded his name for more than two centuriesBinding Type: Paperback

Love Saucony
Size: 3 Wide Little Kid, Color: Fuchsia, Size: 3 Wide Little Kid, Color: Fuchsia
These sneakers are bright, comfortable, and surprisingly versatile, but they lean more fun and practical than trend-polished or premium.
First Impressions & Design:
The fuchsia color is the first thing you notice — bold, playful, and full of personality. It feels energetic rather than overly “girly,” which is probably why both my nephew and niece are drawn to them.
The design has a sporty, modern look that works well for everyday wear. It feels like a real athletic shoe rather than just a colorful kids’ sneaker.
Overall, they read fun, current, and kid-approved.
Color & Style Appeal:
This is a standout feature.
Bright pink feels fresh and confident
Appeals across personalities and styles
A fun reminder that color trends always evolve (pink definitely having a comeback moment)
It’s the kind of shoe kids want to wear, not one they’re convinced to wear.
Fit & Sizing:
The wide sizing is a major plus.
Great option for wider feet
More comfortable than standard narrow kids’ sneakers
Gives toes room without looking oversized
A helpful choice if finding comfortable kid shoes is usually a challenge.
Comfort & Wearability:
Comfort is strong for active kids.
Lightweight enough for running and play
Cushioned sole feels supportive
Easy for all-day wear
They’re built for movement, which matters more than looks alone.
Support & Performance:
These perform like a real sneaker.
Good grip for playground or school use
Stable sole for active movement
Supportive enough for everyday wear
They’re practical, not just cute.
Durability:
Saucony is a respected brand known for style and durability. These shoes are solid for kids’ use.
Holds up well to regular activity
Materials feel reliable
Bright color may show dirt faster than darker shoes
They’re made for actual wear, not just occasional outings.
Quality:
Quality is what you’d expect from a reputable athletic brand.
Better structure than many fashion kids’ shoes
Consistent construction
Functional and dependable
They feel built to last through normal kid use.
Style & Versatility:
These are more versatile than the color might suggest.
Great with casual play clothes
Fun statement shoe for simple outfits
Works for kids who like bold colors regardless of gender
The color makes them stand out, but the design keeps them wearable.
Final Thoughts:
These sneakers combine comfort, support, and standout style in a way kids clearly notice. The wide fit is a bonus, and the fuchsia color gives them personality without limiting who can wear them — which may explain why everyone wants a pair.

Pink name brand walking shoes
Size: 7 Wide Big Kid, Color: Fuchsia, Size: 7 Wide Big Kid, Color: Fuchsia
Looks and feel like the real deal. I only tried them on and the soul of the shoes are comfortably soft. Eventhough, they say child shoe, I got a size seven and they fit good on my feet (size 8 in women). Good looking walking shoes .

Great Fit for Wide Toes
Size: 5 Wide Big Kid, Color: Fuchsia
I should start by saying that these shoes were tested by an adult who happens to wear a child's size 5.5, ladies size 7.5 or 7W, and ordered a size 5W in the florescent pink.
These shoes are way more comfortable than the other Saucony sneakers I own. The wide toe bed doesn't put any pressure on the outside of my feet and my pinky toes are loving the extra space. The insole is not removable in these shoes, but I found them to be comfortable enough without an extracurricular insole. I have only used these shoes for active days; running errands, doing chores, walking, but not for running or exercise. My adult feet and body found these shoes more suitable for walking, but for a younger person I would expect these to be great for exercise or daily wear.
The color is super vibrant. I don't mind a bright shoe and I own a lot of colorful footwear, but these are shockingly pink. Then you combine that pink with the bright white sole, and it is borderline blinding. I have worn them a few times now and they definitely stand out. These would be a great option for a pink loving person, or someone looking for an eye catching shoe to punch up their wardrobe, but for me they're almost too much.
These shoes are on par with my expectations for the brand, but I feel like they have an inflated price point, that most parents shopping for kids athletic shoes may struggle to justify. I know that finding shoes to accomidate wide feet can increase the price significantly, but I still think these shoes would be best purchased on sale.
