What Is The Story?
We all have that little voice in our head that looks critically at another person. We probably don’t know them well. We might not even know them at all, but we still have that critical opinion.
But what if we could start to teach our children to look at others with an open heart and to leave that critical eye behind. Wouldn’t that be great?
That is the story of Adian Simcox and his horse.
It is just a picture book, but you will find that even you will get a lot from reading this new book from Penguin Random House.

About Adrian Simcox Does NOT Have a Horse
A classic in the making, this heartwarming story about empathy and imagination is one that families will treasure for years to come.
Adrian Simcox tells anyone who will listen that he has a horse–the best and most beautiful horse anywhere.
But Chloe does NOT believe him. Adrian Simcox lives in a tiny house. Where would he keep a horse? He has holes in his shoes. How would he pay for a horse?
The more Adrian talks about his horse, the angrier Chloe gets. But when she calls him out at school and even complains about him to her mom, Chloe doesn’t get the vindication she craves. She gets something far more important.
Written with tenderness and poignancy and gorgeously illustrated, this book will show readers that kindness is always rewarding, understanding is sweeter than judgment, and friendship is the best gift one can give.
