Author/illustrator Hannah Salyer is joining us for the launch of her amazing new picture book, Rain and the Reading Horse. In this story, a shy, young girl attends a school program to read to a horse called Snow. Her words often get stuck, but Snow’s reassuring company slowly builds her confidence.

It’s a beautiful celebration of a girl’s relationship with a horse and the slow but persistent ways we can confront our fears. Grab a seat as we celebrate this wonderful read!
