William Wilkins' red cowboy boots whisk him to incredible places, from the Amazon to the moon. But when he outgrows them, despair sets in. As he dreams, William learns the magic isn't in the boots but in his imagination, opening endless adventures. Can he embrace this newfound power and explore the world without his beloved boots?

From the publisher

Sadly, William realizes one day that his feet are too big for the boots. After falling asleep, he eventually discovers that he had the magic with him all along and continues to discover new adventures around every corner using the power of imagination.
