Description:

From the multi-award-winning creator of Gorilla and the beloved Willy the Wimp comes another gentle, heartwarming tale starring Willy the mild-mannered chimp. Willy adores football and dreams of being a star — but he has no boots, so he's never picked for the team. Then one evening a mysterious stranger gives him a pair of old-fashioned football boots, and suddenly Willy can play like a champion! Convinced the magic lives in his lucky shoes, he guards them carefully and keeps to all sorts of funny rituals. But on the morning of the big match, Willy oversleeps, skips his routine and — disaster — forgets the boots entirely. Now he must discover whether the magic was ever really in the shoes… or in himself all along. With Browne's witty, beautifully detailed paintings, it's a charming story about confidence and self-belief.
