Carol Stevens and Valerie Harmon have come up with a book that is sure to make youngsters giggle. The Snake Who Wanted to Be a Horse, as well as the other books in the series, are fabulously colorful, filled with humorous accounts and carry a powerful message. When you hold a dream in your heart and soul, you should seek out those who are where you want to be and ask for guidance, and you should keep trying no matter how many times you may fail. Harmon also shares in the story how even though you will change, you do not just leave behind your old self either. It goes with you. Snake in this story becomes something other than just a Snake, but he doesn't lose his old self nor does he leave it in the past.
The Snake Who Wanted to Be a Horse can be read to a variety of ages. With young children, it can be a funny little story wherein parents can share the basic idea of never giving up. With older elementary children, it can be used to dive deeper into their personal development or even their spiritual growth. The colors and illustrations will grab the older children's attention and spark their own creativity. As a home school mom, I will be recommending The Snake Who Wanted to Be a Horse and the rest of the series to my fellow home school families. I highly recommend reading this beautiful story to your children!
