Why Red Shoes?

Why are many of my creatures wearing red shoes? The  FASD reporter mouse is asking why  wear red shoes

Red shoes are an international symbol of FASD awareness. You can read more about it here: https://redshoesrock.com/why-red-shoes/

For example, FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder) is at least 2.5 times more common than autism spectrum disorder and 28 times more common than Down syndrome.
FASD is thus “one of the leading known causes of developmental disability in the Western world”. (Source: https://canfasd.ca/blog/)

It is estimated that there are at least one or two children with FASD in every school classroom. Yet many professionals, educators and caregivers know too little about how to support children and adults with FASD.

To help raise awareness, my characters proudly wear their red shoes. Red shoes are a great conversation starter.
