A NEW BOOK!!

Normally I write about horses and horse training. There is a connection to the Kenyon Bear Books. Those of you who are familiar with my work know that I often refer to the classic children’s story Black Beauty. I reference that book when I talk about the underlying belief system that supports training choices. In the mainstream, conventional horse world horses are viewed as stupid animals, and because they are stupid, you have to use force to train them. What’s added to this is: “Don’t worry, dear, they don’t feel pain the way we do.”

I never bought into this description of horses. I believe that horses are intelligent animals who have a rich emotional life. Here’s how I describe the unapologetically sentimental perspective I bring to horse training: “I read Black Beauty when I was little and I cried when Ginger died.”

That’s the connection between horse training and my newest children’s book. I was very much thinking about Black Beauty and Ginger when I wrote i

I’m never very good about talking about my own books. I’m always afraid I’ll say too much and give the story away. I’ll just say that the book is filled with magic, adventure, friendship, and a happy, though bittersweet ending. It is a book I would have loved as a child. I know I would have read it over and over which is how all the best children’s books are read.

Give the gift of reading to the young readers in your life.
