The Christmas Boot by Lisa Wheeler, illustrated by Michael Glenn Monroe

Michael Glenn Monroe is our very own hometown artist. When The Christmas Boot came out in the fall of 2007 we were all excited about his newest addition! This is a heart warming story about a lonely old woman who finds a boot on her property. When she puts the boot on her foot it magically molds to her size. The boot is very warm, so when she goes to bed that night she wishes that she had the mate to the boot so both her feet could be warm. When she wakes up the next morning, there is a pair of boots ... not just one boot! The old woman is amazed by the magic of the boot and she wishes for a pair of warm mittens. When she wakes up she finds a nice warm pair of red mittens inside of the boots. Will the woman continue to wish for things AND will she get everything she wishes for? Who does the boot belong to? Read this magical Christmas story and enjoy the incredible illustrations of our own Mike Monroe!
