Crazy about horses

 Horse Dreams by Dandi Daley Mackall was a quick read for an adult, but seeing as it's a children's book, that's not unusual.  Cute book for your young horse fans.  Ellie desperately wanted a horse.  She was always in trouble for daydreaming about horses while at school.  When she "sees" a horse and announces it, troubles follow.  Only Ellie did see a horse!  A rescued pinto has escaped.  Ellie has been praying for a black stallion for so long, she almost misses the answer to her prayers; the pinto.  How many times in our own spiritual life do we miss what is right in front of us all along?  Like Ellie, we are so stuck on what we want that we miss God's answer has already come.  Fun read for your elementary age.  Filled with kooky characters and a spiritual lesson.
