About The Cloud Horse: Short Fiction For Kids
Product Description Welcome to this collection of unforgettable and uplifting short stories for horse kids ages 8-12. Boys and girls who love horses and adventure will adore the title story, "The Cloud Horse." This exhilarating yarn about a kid who is whisked away on the back of a flying horse, is based on "The Boy Who Rode into the Sunset," a century-old short story classic by children's author C. J. Dennis. For modern audiences, Strawberry Shakespeare has transformed this charming tale into a novelette with colorfully-titled chapters and an entertaining account of the life and times of C. J. Dennis, all of which render this magical fable more meaningful and enjoyable than ever. We are also delighted to bring you three extraordinary short stories by bestselling children's author Strawberry Shakespeare, "White Fire," "The Appaloosa Colt," and "The Horse Whisperer Academy." Readers of all ages will be enchanted by her mystical and inspiring tales. For your added enjoyment, we have further included a humorous bonus selection from Strawberry Shakespeare's comic-adventure bestseller for young readers, "Saving Bluestone Belle." At Diamond Star Press we are committed to bringing you the best in children's fiction. We care about your child's interest in reading and are dedicated to encouraging children to read more books. We also believe that books can bring parents and kids together. To that end, we aim to publish stories that are suitable for the whole family, stories that parents and teachers alike will love to read aloud to the children in their lives.

(Joyce Gilmour, 3rd Grade Teacher & Amazon Vine Voice) "These stories can help a child be more creative and imaginative, in addition to enjoying reading." (Nancy Lester, M.A., Educational Psychologist) "I read this ebook with my eleven year old. We thoroughly enjoyed the stories." (Laura Peters, Amazon reviewer) "I'm a fan of Strawberry Shakespeare and was excited to find new work by her. This is a wonderful book for kids who love horses...!" (Anna P., Amazon reviewer) About the Author Strawberry Shakespeare was born and educated in New York City where she received a master's degree and doctoral training in clinical psychology. While working in the mental health field, she returned to her original love - writing - and is now a bestselling children's book author and screenwriter. Saving Bluestone Belle, Shakespeare's debut novel, is an Amazon bestseller and a popular children's book for ages 8-12, and has been a book club selection, a featured attraction and an award winner at book groups, book fairs, book festivals and animal rights conferences across the country. Her other bestselling children's books include The Cloud Horse & Other Stories and her newest release, Hope's Horse: The Mystery of Shadow Ridge. Shakespeare was interviewed by reporters at the Animal Rights National Conference in Los Angeles. What follows is a quote from that interview. "How we treat the least among us is an indication of who we really are as a culture. Too often, horses are viewed as a disposable commodity rather than as faithful companions and helpmates of man. I was horrified by reports of their rampant abuse and exploitation by the horse slaughter industry, and decided to highlight this issue in my children's books. My hope is that this story will inspire young people to take a stand against cruelty toward horses and other animals."
