When a dad panics mid-divorce and impulse-buys a horse, the horse does not know it is a coping mechanism. The child does not know it either. They are both just happy there is a horse now. This happiness is temporary. Most happiness involving horses and divorce is.
Cinnamon ends up where all poorly planned guilt-horses go. The title tells you. The book walks you there with illustrated cartoon art and the quiet dignity of a story that knows exactly how bad it is and does not apologize for it.
This Book IS For:- Adults who received a wildly inappropriate apology gift as a child and still think about it
- Anyone who has explained something to a kid by not fully explaining it
- People with a high tolerance for what polite society calls too soon
- Gift-givers who prefer to be memorable over tasteful
- Horse owners who are still in the denial stage about their horse
- People who have written a letter to a company because a cartoon upset them
- Anyone currently mid-divorce and not yet laughing about it
- Teachers who believe all stories require a redemption arc
- Divorce parties, which are absolutely a real and accepted thing now
- White elephant exchanges where you intend to win
- Bachelorette parties for the one who owns too many horse figurines
- Gag gift situations where everyone agrees the bar is deliberately low
A greeting card costs almost as much as this book, gets read once, and lives in a drawer for six months before someone quietly throws it out. This book gets read aloud. Someone laughs. Someone goes quiet. Somebody asks where you found it. That is a moment. Cards do not cause moments.
You are not buying a book. You are buying the look on someone's face when they reach the last page and realize what just happened. That look is worth every cent. The greeting card industry would prefer you not figure this out.
