This week I’m rolling out two cozy, hope-forward picture books—stories built for couch cuddles, classroom circles, and those five quiet minutes before lights-out.

The Story of Ginger: The Lonely Pony 

 A shy barn pony watches other hooves thunder by and wonders where she belongs. With one brave step (and a little nudge from kind friends), Ginger finds her herd and her courage. Themes: belonging, bravery, friendship. Perfect for read-alouds and early readers.

The Little Bus with the Big Heart: A Cookie-Stop Tale 

 A small town, a tiny bus, and a very big mission: help the neighbors... pups included... one cookie stop at a time. When someone needs a lift, this little bus shows up. Themes: kindness, community, everyday heroes.

Both books carry my favorite porch-light promise: show up, share first, mend fence... together. Expect warm colors, gentle humor, and endings that feel like a hug.

If these stories make your crew smile, tap Follow here on BookBub, add them to your Wish List, and... when you’re ready... drop an honest review so other families can find them. Your word of mouth keeps the wheels (and hooves) moving.

Thanks for reading with me. The kettle’s on, the Labs are snoring, and the next tale is already tapping at the door. And always keep smiling and have an amazing day!
