Kody's Capers: Finding Joy, by Terri Abbatiello (Terri Abbatiello Publishing, 27pp, 2023, ages 3-10, $10.99) Review by Skye Anderson
Kody, a little miniature horse with one blue eye and one brown eye, comes full circle in his book Finding Joy. In the beginning, Kody wants for food, among many other things, but most of all, he wants love. Then, a miracle happens but it's scary - a trailer comes for Kody and his friends and takes them - fast and noisily - to a wonderful new home, a horse rescue farm.
Trimming Tickles!
We loved the part where getting his hooves trimmed tickles!
The next thing Kody knows is that he is adopted and he (with his person) visits others as a therapy horse! They bring joy but not only to people - also to the animals Kody lives with.
Starting Conversations
Kody's Capers will start many a conversation, from the younger set retelling the story, to the older ones noticing Kody's eyes and asking about therapy animals. Who knows? Maybe the readers will beging taking their dogs to schools, libraries or nursing homes to spread the joy!
And, Best of All
And, best of all, this is a true story!
