Charlie is an adorable young horse. He wants to be a famous racehorse like his dad, Charles the Great. But he doesn't like to focus on his work. He'd rather munch on flowers. Who helps him progress toward his big dream? What happens when he has trouble on the racetrack. Does he persevere? Does his dream come true?
Charlie's story will help your child learn the importance of working hard, setting goals and persevering.
Your child will enjoy this tale that Charlie narrates.

My name is Ellie and I'm 12. I really liked this book. I liked reading about the relationships between the horses, but I mostly liked it as an athlete. I'm an athlete just like Charlie (except I do gymnastics, not running), and I really liked the message that competing takes lots of practice, that it's okay if you don't always win, that you need to try your best and that sometimes you can have challenges that you just need to find a solution for (like blinkers); it doesn't mean you have to give up. :)~Stephanie, Author

Kid's books: Spirit and bravery

• Posted on 20th December 2015 
• in kid's books 
• by thedunnes12@att.net

When you read or create kid’s books do you remember acts of bravery? Don’t you think brave characters are heroes to many of us? I agree with that. Real stories of bravery and spirit are even more remarkable. Let’s consider the story of little Safy’re Terry. She’s an amazing child whose family died in a fire set by an arsonist. She is now being raised by her aunt. Safy’re’s dad, and three young siblings all perished in the fire. Safy’re suffered horrible burns on her face, arms and legs. She has endured many surgeries and infections. Do you know what Safy’re wanted most for Christmas? She asked for enough Christmas cards to fill the stand that her Aunt bought. Her Aunt said, “Don’t get your hopes up, honey because we only get about ten cards a year.” But not this year. The story reached social media and television.  She has received hundreds of thousands of cards. Safy’re nearly cries when she sees the mail truck pull up to her house with thousands of cards, specially for her. Her family says:

“She smiles.She plays with her friends. She runs around laughing and joking like any other kid her age. She gets excited about Santa Claus. When a TV reporter puts a microphone under her chin, she enthusiastically, politely, shyly answers their questions. And when the mail truck pulls up with Christmas cards for her special tree, she turns to her aunt and beseeches her not to cry.

People from around the world have responded to Safy’re with overwhelming generosity, sending her not only Christmas cards, but gifts and money and special messages.” Even celebrities have sent gifts.

“Through her courage, she reminds us that there are other children who have experienced tragedies, other kids who live in poverty and in situations they didn’t create and don’t deserve, and who struggle to make their way. She reminds us there are many other people, adults and children, who need the spirit and generosity she’s awakened in us to help lift them from their circumstances, even if just for a special day.”

You can see what a remarkable, courageous, child Safy’re is. She has met every challenge with bravery. People around the world have supported her and tried to lift her spirits. She is the perfect example of grace and bravery.

Several of my kid’s books put generosity and caring for others in the spotlight. The first of my kid’s books, Tails of Sweetbrier, is about beating the odds and living your dream. Charlene the Star and Hattie’s Heroes highlights teamwork and helping others. Charlene the Star and Bentley Bulldog, shows bullies can change, and shows the value of friendship.

Safy’re, I hope your dreams come true. If anyone in the world deserves them, you do. People everywhere admire your amazing courage in such difficult circumstances. Merry Christmas!

What does Little Man have to say?

"Good afternoon everyone. Today we're going to chat with Little Man, my first pony. It's going to be fun because it's his first interview. You never know what he might say.
Little Man, I'm pleased you could stop by to chat this afternoon. In case you're feeling a little nervous, don't worry. You're going to be marvelous.
"Um, thanks, Deanie. I'll try to relax. Normally, I'm a laid-back little fellow.
 We'll get on with our questions now.
Little Man, tell me about your life at Sweetbrier.
Sure, I can do that. Well, to be honest, I usually eat a lot. That's how I got kind of, round, you know.
Once in a while some little person would ride me. Usually, it was you. I did tend to get bored, as you might remember. You and the other kids brushed my fuzzy coat often so I was always clean.
Yes, I remember brushing you all the time. I liked to use the dandy brush on you because it had soft bristles.
Were you usually on your best behavior when I rode you?
Uh, oh, I was hoping you wouldn't ask me that question. Well, I wasn't good too often. Remember I told you I got bored. When I was bored it made me quite sleepy so I'd stop to take a nap, even if you were on me. You'd get off and then I'd roll around a bit. That's the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.As you know, I can only think of one thing at a time and once I thought about rolling in the soft sand, I couldn't resist.
I didn't like that one bit. Whenever you went to sleep, I had to get Daddy to get up up and put me back on. He was not happy when you fell asleep while I was riding.
Tell everyone what I did to try to keep you in a good mood.
You used to give me sugar cubes before you rode me, thinking it would keep me in a good frame of mind. I was happy to see the sugar cubes, but I still didn't always behave.
Yes, I'm not sure the sugar cubes helped a lot.
Well, it's almost time for you to have dinner so I guess I should let you go. We're going to put a picture of you and I from our book, Tails of Sweetbrier.
That sounds like a great idea, Deanie. My tummy is rumbling. I'm definitely ready for dinner. Thanks for talking to me.
You're welcome. We had a nice time together.
