The Christmas Boot is a 2016 picture book by Lisa Wheeler and illustrator Jerry Pinkney. It is about a woman, Hannah Greyweather, who finds a single black boot, that turns out to be owned by Santa.

Reception

School Library Journal, in a review of The Christmas Boot, recognised it as a "retelling of the folktale of the "Fisherman's Wife" who greedily wishes for too much has a kinder ending" but with "a kinder ending" and concluded "A worthy holiday reimagining, best enjoyed as an independent read or as a read-aloud in a small group setting"[1]The Horn Book Magazine wrote "the storytelling is a little too loose to be completely satisfying, but the air of Christmas mystery and coziness is successfully maintained thanks to Pinkney's snowy pencil and watercolor illustrations of a country Christmas and a heroine who is satisfied with what she has and happy with what she gets: a puppy."[2]The Christmas Boot has also been reviewed by Publishers Weekly,[3] BookList,[4] Kirkus Reviews,[5] and The New York Times.[6]
