Before the sun rises, a sound travels down the road.
Seven-year-old Samuel wakes to the steady beat of hooves passing his home in the early morning mist. The riders do not stop; but their journey carries something important.
As whispers spread, a knock comes at the door, and folded papers travel from hand to hand, Samuel begins to understand that history does not always arrive loudly. Sometimes it comes quietly; along dusty roads, through careful words, and in the simple act of listening.
The Sound of Hooves at Dawn is a gentle historical fiction story set in Revolutionary War-era North Carolina. Told through the eyes of a watchful child, it shows young readers that even small moments; and small voices; can be part of history.
Perfect for readers ages 6-8, this story invites children to slow down, listen closely, and discover that history often begins in the quietest ways.
