Overview

Meet "stubborn as a mule" Skye: a precocious, hilarious, delightful yet exasperating three-year-old drama queen who lives in south Louisiana. When Skye was given a shiny new pair of red rubber boots, she fell in love with them. Skye insisted on wearing the boots day and night, for practically a whole year. Although Skye's mother wearily attempted to persuade her to wear shoes other than the boots, Skye absolutely refused. Skye knew she was driving her sweet mother to her wits' end, yet her boots made her feel so securely grounded that she stubbornly continued to wear them. Then one day something really scary happens, and everything changes in an instant!

CHAPTER 1

The sky was pretty, so clear and blue. The day was sunny and bright. Skye tugged on her red rubber boots. Her boots brought her such delight!

Skye's mom sighed and asked, "Boots again? Try these sandals. Your feet need more air." Skye yelled, "No way! My feet feel fine. These boots are my favorite pair!"

Skye's mom fussed, "Your toes need to wiggle. They need some nice fresh air. You've worn those boots for so long. I can see they are starting to tear!"

"But, Mom," pouted Skye, "they're special boots. I wear them day and night. I always want to wear my boots. They make me feel just right!"

Mom said, "Skye, I know those boots were a gift from dear Aunt Kelli. But I've had enough of this nonsense. It's making me sick to my belly!"

"But, Mom, I take my boots off for my bath with bubbles! Who cares if I want to sleep in my boots? If I can't, I might cause trouble!"

Mom said, "Skye, it's not healthy to wear boots every day and night. But go on, Little Miss Stubborn! Just do what you feel is right!"

Mom warned Skye, "When you turn four your boots might not fit anymore. The minute you outgrow them, I'll throw them out the door!"
