Illustrated by
Jerry Pinkney.
Old, poor Hannah Greyweather finds one sturdy boot while out on Christmas morning; to her surprise, its mate shows up the next morning by her bed, beginning the holiday magic. Christmas mystery and coziness are successfully maintained thanks to snowy pencil and watercolor illustrations and a heroine who is satisfied with what she has and happy with what she gets: a puppy.
