Artist Suzie Hightshoe | Toadally Cute Hardcover Journal
There are so many things that are toadally cute! Just like this little Toad Lily blossom — unexpected, delicate, and completely irresistible. Hello Kitty. Pink axolotls. Baby bunnies. Munchkin kittens with their impossibly short little legs. Kawaii culture. Pink and yellow Peeps at Easter. What's on your toadally cute list? Grab this journal and write it all down — every adorable thing that makes you smile. Why? Because it's FUN. And the world could use a little more of that.
Suzie Hightshoe is an Iowa educator, storyteller, and photographer whose life's work has been built on a single, luminous belief: that if we are quiet enough, we can hear the story the world is trying to tell us.
Born into a family with more than 150 years of combined teaching legacy — her aunts' manuscripts, plays, poems, and sheet music now preserved at the Museum of Education at the University of Northern Iowa — Suzie carried that legacy into 40 years of her own classroom. Along the way she earned the National Social Studies Teacher of the Year award (1996), traveled to Japan as a Fulbright Memorial Fund Teacher, and served as an educational ambassador to Russia, bringing cultures together through the universal language of story. Her fifth graders slept under the stars during Iowa's Sesquicentennial. They doused old cemeteries, rode steamboats on the Mississippi, walked alongside wagon trains, and shared Norwegian dinners in Decorah. History was never something Suzie taught from behind a desk.
For Suzie, photography IS storytelling — the camera lens a portal through which she can hear thunder, smell lilies, feel the flutter of a kitten's fur, and taste the first sip of a bold morning coffee. Her art invites you to slow down, look closer, and find meaning in the places and faces most people walk right past.
"Everything and everyone is Art." — Suzie Hightshoe
