In this early graphic novel Steve is a happy go lucky horse hanging with his best friend, Bob, the racoon. They’re having a typical day until Steve sees his first ever peacock. This glorious bird leaves Steve feeling rather ordinary and he goes off on a search to become extraordinary. After he finds a beautiful golden horn he begins wearing on his head he believes he has found the key to being extraordinary, but has he?
We can all relate to Steve and his desire to find our special place in this world, a way to stand out and shine in our own individual ways. This story shows the pitfalls that can happen along the way and how to work through the growing pains.

Perfect for ages 6-9
