Best Foot Forward

Mr. Centipede is proud of his 21 pairs of smart little boots, but on his morning walk he suddenly can't work out which leg to move first. The more he thinks it through, the more muddled he gets — until a moment of surprise gets him moving again without a second thought. A funny read about counting, overthinking, and learning to trust yourself.
