Lucy and Her Boots

June 3, 2026 · Barbara Ruffing

An introduction to my first published children's book — Lucy discovers a mysterious pair of boots that quickly become her best friends. Wherever she goes, the boots go too - bringing comfort, fun, companionship, and a little mischief along the way. But as Lucy grows up, she begins to realize something important about friendship, love, and what truly lasts. Lucy and Her Boots is a heartwarming story that gently reminds children that real friendship never fades

I'm overjoyed to share my very first children's book with the world.

There is a story behind the publication of Lucy and Her Boots. Written nearly 50 years ago as a college assignment, Lucy sat on the back burner waiting patiently to be introduced to the world! I’ll share more details soon!

Thank you for letting it become part of your family's story.

Thank you for reading.
