A Gentle, Reassuring Story for Horse-Loving Toddlers & Preschoolers Learning to Be Brave
* Perfect for ages 2-5 and ideal for children facing new experiences like preschool, kindergarten, or making new friends *
Tomorrow is Bella's first day of preschool, and her tummy feels all fluttery with worry.
What if she doesn't make any friends?
When Mama takes Bella to visit The Kind Barn, she meets someone very special-Buttercup, a beautiful golden palomino pony with the gentlest eyes and the softest nose.
But Buttercup has a secret.
She remembers what it feels like to be new, nervous, and unsure too.
Through their tender friendship, Buttercup helps Bella understand something important: everyone feels scared sometimes-even horses. Being brave doesn't mean you're never afraid. Being brave means taking a deep breath and trying anyway.
