The art is beautiful and reminiscent of farms I have seen.I hope to see it become a Christmas classic for all families.

Great Family Holiday Story!!

This is a wonderful and uplifting family story. Our whole family loved it. The story will be particularly appealing to any child who likes animals, especially horses. For small children, it is a nice book to be read by or with parents. For those a bit older, the story and writing are interesting and challenging enough to make for a fun and easy read. Probably would be a super gift for Xmas without spending a fortune.
