Reviews

[Patricia Kemp Blackmon]

This is such a cute rhyming story about a little girl that finds so much happiness with her new red cowboy boots. She talks about them as if they were friends that she shared her daily life with.

I liked the illustrations they made this little girl come alive. The colors are so vibrant they will give you a happy heart. Images of the little girl reminds me of a little cherub angel.

We should all let our children be free to find themselves even if you do not think the shoe fits them. In this case if the cowboy boots fit wear em. God has made each child in his image and they are original copies and are to be treasured.

If I had time to dig the picture out I would show you a picture of my second daughter and wearing her red cowboy boots. She wore with her Houston Oilers western outfit. I think it was in 1979 or 1980. She loved those boots. I have to admit I chose this book because the cover reminded me of her.

After I read the book I knew I wanted to write more than just a review. I had to let you know about this author. She has some majorly impressive books for children. On her website there is a longer bio you must read. I would have added more of her books below but I just didn't have enough time to to post all of them. I sure wanted to though.

I highly recommend this book!

This was a cute story about a girl & her cowboy boots. A short read with adorable pictures! And a nice little "Jut For Mom" page at the end.
