ABOUT THE AUTHOR - Geralda De Vos
Geralda grew up in Belgium and came to Vietnam in 2017. Passionate about reusing trash, she started picking up lost sandals from the streets. She stacked them all on the back of her bicycle and began to imagine a collector of sandals. That’s how Linh, Gingerella and “The Lost Sandal” came about.
