The shoe bird a musical fable

"Samuel Jones presents a musical interpretation of Eudora Welty's classic story. Arturo, a parrot who works at the local shoe shop, overhears a young boy say that 'shoes are for the birds.' So, he spreads the word, and the next day flocks show up in hopes of getting their own shoes."@en
"The Shoe Bird, Eudora Welty's only book written for children, has been set to music by Samuel Jones for the enchantment of children of all ages. The adventure begins when Arturo, a store parrot at the Friendly Shoe Store, repeats what he has heard a child say and announces to the entire bird kingdom that "Shoes are for the birds!" One bird from each species flies to the shoe store to be fitted for a new pair of shoes. The birds learn quickly that there is a down-side to wearing shoes when Freddy the Cat appears. When a call for help is placed, a very special bird arrives to save the day."@en
