The Horse Who Wanted to Fly

The Horse Who Wanted to Fly, a picture book that delivers a message of resilience and self-confidence, will be released by Firefly Books on September 1, 2024. It is set in Sacramento and Palo Alto in the 1870s when Leland Stanford (governor of California) hired a photographer to prove how a horse runs. These sequential photographs set the stage for the invention of the motion picture and development of animation. It is an important message of resilience and self-confidence, telling young readers, "Believe in yourself, give it a try! How else will you prove that you can fly?"
