To ask for help finding a book

DM and I have been hunting this book for years and never got anywhere.
It’s a book about a little girl who grows out of her wellies. Her mum says she needs new ones but she likes her old ones so she plants them to make them grow, she hangs them from a tree with stones in to stretch them etc. Then they’re in a shoe shop with loads of different wellies - some with bows, some with zips etc. Then she gets new wellies and gives her old ones to her little brother. And she’s big enough to jump over the puddles with her new wellies.

I remember it so clearly but can’t find it anywhere! Anyone have any idea? I really want to read it to DS!

I just did a quick Google search, It's called 'big Sarah's little boots'.

You're welcome, that's my good deed for the day 😜 I just put in children's book girl outgrows wellies or something to that effect and it popped up. IM normally rubbish at finding things as well so quite proud of myself but I do love finding good books for my kids too so hope you get much enjoyment out of reading it to your son. :)

So glad you found your book. I can't believe it!! I have been asking every book shop/seller about a book I read 30+ years ago. Just followed your logic dottymac and found it! In my defence, I am a dinosaur and am slowly learning the power of tinternet!! (Can't quite afford the price on Amazon but at least I can trawl charity shops now knowing what I am looking for..(for anyone interested it was James A Michener, Alaska..the whole history of ….Alaska!)
I did know about your Welly book OP, One of my kids favourites.
