The Christmas boot / by Lisa Wheeler ; illustrated by Jerry Pinkney. - 30 unnumbered pages : color illustrations ; 30 cm

Lonely Hannah is delighted to discover a warm black boot as she gathers kindling in the forest. A poor woman, she doesn't have proper shoes on her cold feet. "Glory be! I only wish I had your mate," she says to the boot, and the next morning, to her great surprise, there is not just one boot but two sitting by her bed! More wishes bring even better gifts -- but the best is still to come: A visitor arrives at her door -- a man with a big white beard, wearing a red suit and only one boot. Who could this magical visitor be? Santa Claus, of course! And he has one more surprise in store for Hannah: She wakes up the next morning to find a new puppy waiting for her!

Ages 4-8.
