Book Cover & Preview Text
Once upon a time, lived a little girl named Savanna. She lived in the rolling hills of the countryside and was surrounded by many animals. Savanna was very kind to all the animals around her. She often sat under the trees and watched the animals around her. She wished that she could speak to them.
One day as Savanna walked through the meadow she came upon an old horse. He looked tired and hungry. She reached into her pocket and took out a crisp apple that she planned to eat for lunch. She offered this gentle giant her fruit. He graciously accepted her treat. She kissed his nose and wandered off to the trees.
When she arrived at her favorite oak tree she sat down and wondered about the old horse. As she leaned into the deep grass she felt something by her side. It was a pair of little red cowgirl boots. She inspected the boots and decided to try them on. They fit perfectly.
