Some losses leave you without words. Sometimes, kindness helps you find your voice. Twelve-year-old Malachi often feels isolated. His stutter makes words hard to form and friendships hard to begin, leaving him most at ease with his loyal dog, Sunny-who understands him without words. When Sunny is gone, Mal is left alone with a grief he doesn't know how to express. Overwhelmed with sorrow, Mal wanders alone, unsure where he's headed. Hearing a horse's whinnies nearby, he follows the sound to a pasture, where he discovers a pregnant mare confined without food or water. Convinced Sunny has somehow led him to her, Mal commits to keeping the horse safe until her foal is born. When Mal trusts a classmate with his secret, he takes a risk that feels far more dangerous than speaking out loud. But as a cautious friendship begins to grow, caring for the mare and her newborn foal helps Mal find the courage to speak up when it matters and stand firm for what he knows is right. Sundance is a tender middle-grade novella about grief, friendship, and finding your voice-even when words don't come easily.
Autorenporträt
Multi-award-winning author and lifelong horse enthusiast, Laura Holt-Haslam, writes realistic middle grade fiction that inspires readers of all ages. While horses feature prominently, the heart of her writing revolves around the human characters as they navigate life in less-than-perfect families, learn how to make and be friends, overcome challenges that stand in the way of their dreams, and discover the healing power of love and forgiveness. Laura is passionate about sharing her love of horses through art, writing, and hands-on learning. For over thirty-five years, she has taught basic horsemanship and mentored hundreds of children and teens, encouraging them not only to become more confident equestrians, but more compassionate people. Laura is the mother of two young adult children. She lives in Southern Maine with her husband, two adorably naughty cats, and the friendliest dog you'll ever meet. She and her daughter share ownership of Max, a 27-year-old palomino miniature horse who loves to jump. Learn more about Laura and her books, and Max and his friends at https://lauraholthaslam.com/.
