Billy and the Boot-Prints: A Story of Wonder, Hope, and Home (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798279078240)

On a quiet winter night, an eight-year-old boy named Billy looks out his window and sees something impossible: glowing boot-prints in the snow leading toward a warm, welcoming house.

That moment changes everything.

Billy and the Boot-Prints is a gentle, heart-centered chapter book written for children ages 8 and up, about safety, belonging, and the quiet magic of being seen.

Billy moves through foster care carrying more questions than answers, learning early how easily choices are made for kids like him. But one small act of wonder-one night of kindness-leaves a mark that follows him as he grows, forgets, remembers, and eventually learns how to pass hope forward.

This is not just a holiday story.
It's a story about:

• finding warmth when the world feels cold

• learning that believing in kindness matters

• discovering that even small moments can change a life

The magic in this book is quiet and grounded-no spells, no battles-just memory, love, and the idea that being safe can feel magical.

Perfect for:
✔️ ages 8+
✔️ families reading together
✔️ classrooms and libraries
✔️ sensitive and thoughtful readers

Billy and the Boot-Prints is the first book in The Little Billy Series, a collection of stories about listening, belonging, and the power of being believed.

Because sometimes magic doesn't shout.
Sometimes it just leaves footprints in the snow.
