Second Chance

"This children's book, written for ages 4 years and above, will resonate with young readers and adults alike. It tells a simple story of homecoming and friendship, imagined and told by a horse named Chance. Chance was rescued along with other members of his herd and came to live with a Rescue Mom and Dad at their ranch in California. Readers may recognize some themes in Second Chance that are present not only in the animal world, but in our own: different models of parenting and home, the challenge of bullying or exclusion, and the care and compassion that we can give and receive. The book introduces young audiences to the story of a special horse and to an important face of animal welfare work-foster care and re-homing. In doing so, we hope to bring to life the mission of Horse Tales Rescue, the real-world organization represented in this story."
