Footprints On The Ceiling

With ink pad included, this story of the celebration of a father's love also lets parents and grandparents record their child's unique keepsake in the pages of the book alongside the story. No one will tell young Haley Mae how the mysterious footprints on her ceiling got there, so she sets out to reveal their origin. She comes to discover that when she was a baby her father walked her upside down on the ceiling to tickle her toes, and her mother could never bring herself to wipe away the marks because they symbolized her father's love. After reading the book, kids can stamp their own way across its pages, creating a memento of themselves for the family.
