Two Foals, A Dash of Sprinkles and a Cherry on Top!

Madison loves to spend every summer with her grandparents on their farm.  In the morning Madison would look out upon the horse pasture and count all the horses - just as Grandpa had taught her - but wait, instead of ten horses, she counts twelve!  Mama horse had two foals during the night, but Madison is shocked to see one is covered in spots.  Is he sick?  Madison charges outside and soon learns the mystery behind the spotted foal.

Two Foals, A Dash of Sprinkles and a Cherry on Top! by Brittany Bevis is a delightful and charming story.  Grandpa's answer to the spotted foal will leave you feeling wonderfully satisfied - just like a big bowl of ice cream with sprinkles and a cherry on top - but you'll have to read the book to find out Grandpa's meaningful explanation.

The illustrations by Pam Talley incorporate soft hues and playful action with some humour thrown in to boot.  I love her picture with the horses on the table with a big bowl of delicious ice cream.  So clever!

Two Foals, A Dash of Sprinkles and a Cherry on Top! is due to be officially released on November 30, but you can pre-order here.

Hayseed's First Race

A high-top-high-sock wearing race horse reminds kids of a valuable lesson – Always love yourself for who you are.

Hayseed enters his first race confident of his abilities, but when a faster, taller horse named Prince Perfect makes fun of him, Hayseed begins to worry. Will Hayseed win his first race or will his own self-doubting get in the way?

Hayseed’s First Race by Sally Schrock is a charming little book filled with wonderful, self-esteem building messages. From Hayseed’s “What I Love About Me” letter to his mother’s wisdom-filled words, Hayseed will gently teach little ones a huge life lesson – “Never, ever, let anyone tell you that you don’t belong…”

The bright, bold illustrations, also by Sally Schrock, will draw your child into the story and keep them captivated to the very end. Hayseed’s First Race is a must have!
